TunesCloud plays the music you already own in Google Drive, with a native Apple music-player feel. Connect your Google account, pick the folders that hold your library, and browse albums, artists, and tracks on your terms, not inside someone else's streaming catalog. Stream over the network, download songs and albums for offline listening, and keep going with background audio, lock-screen controls, and a queue built for real listening. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Connect Google Drive and index your own audio folders • Browse by albums, artists, and tracks with artwork from your files • Stream with seeking, a queue, and Now Playing • Download songs or albums for offline play • Rediscover your collection on Home: recently played, newly added, highly rated, and more • Use star ratings to surface the music you care about • Play on iPhone, iPad, and Mac WHO IT'S FOR If your collection lives as MP3, M4A, or AAC files in the cloud, and not as a Spotify or Apple Music subscription, TunesCloud is the player for that library. PRIVACY-MINDED BY DESIGN TunesCloud reads only the Drive folders you choose. Your music stays yours. Note: A Google Drive account is required for cloud library features. An internet connection is required for streaming and syncing.
