Could this support playing music from S3 and storing/reading metadata as S3 headers? I currently store about 200GB of music in Amazon Cloudplayer, which has recently gone sideways with their push towards Music Prime. I'm currently ripping all my music out and putting it into S3.
With Dropbox upping their quotas I was literally thinking about this two days ago! I look forward to checking this out. Going to take me quite a while to finish uploading my music though.
better ensure it is indeed your music, because Dropbox will likely report infringements of copyright

That's the problem with the main Music Lockers: they keep integrating music stores into them. All I want is to upload my music and play it remotely.

I think you're taking the question as a veiled criticism. It's possible the question is just a question.
I don't think it's criticism, it's just not the most useful question they could be asking at this point in time. If he's showing off a new project - I think it's probably best to help improve what he currently has now and then worrying about the integrations later
I don't disagree with what the author's focus should be, but I don't think that this question distracts from that.
Really cool idea. Who hasn't thought of doing this before? Congrats on actually making it, and making it look beautiful. Already forked it, can't wait to start playing with it. I don't see any mobile screenshots, how does it look on a phone screen? I can imagine that being a great use-case for this app.
Its gentle folks decided to restart from scratch with a music player in mind, and keep the idea of having different resolvers to target different sources, such as local disk, youtube, spotify, radioshark, ... Really, if you know javascript, you can write a resolver targetting the platform of your choice. The end result is Tomahawk [1] and if you're interested in that you should have a look.
Maybe it didn't spread because it's not a webapp ?
What about OneDrive and Google Drive support?
These comments make sense from end-users but I feel like they're out of place on HN. I mean, sure OneDrive & GoogleDrive support can obviously be implemented down the road, but especially when first showing the idea off - it's way easier to keep it simple and get feedback to improve the product and then later integrate with more services. These comments remind me of the few apps I've put out that start with an iOS ve…

Consider the perspective of someone who has never heard of a new piece of software before. They just want to know a bunch of things about it, so they can form a concept of it in their mind. This is one such question. I don't disagree with what the author's focus should be, but I don't think that this question distracts from that.
