CloudSpinner vs SonicMate

CloudSpinner: Spin your records and videos from your personal cloud This app requires you using a third party cloud service as your file storage. It currently supports Dropbox, Google Drive and One Drive. By popular demand, other services can be considered implemented at a later point. CloudSpinner lets you browse, play, and manage your backed-up music, recordings, demos, and videos using cloud services you may already subscribe to. Connect to Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive and browse your existing folder structure directly, treating your cloud storage as a personal media library. The app supports lossless playback when available, stable streaming with low CPU and power usage, and playlist creation across one or multiple cloud services. Tracks and playlists can be downloaded for offline playback and managed locally on your device. CloudSpinner includes a practice mode with adjustable playback speed without changing pitch, useful for rehearsing, learning parts, or working with recordings and demos. Built-in search makes it easy to locate tracks, folders, or albums across connected libraries. A sleep timer can be used for those who fall asleep to sounds playing. Cover art can be auto-scanned and cached locally, or manually selected from public databases. You may also access Discogs and MusicBrainz databases to view track information. Playback continues in the background with lock screen controls. The app supports Apple CarPlay for in-car use. Network usage can be adjusted, allowing you to control Wi-Fi and cellular data behavior when streaming or downloading content. CloudSpinner supports both light and dark mode and follows system appearance settings. CloudSpinner is designed for reliable playback and focused listening, without ads, social features, analytics, or automated content modification. Your rhythm, no algorithms.

SonicMate plays the music you already own: the library hosted on your own Navidrome server, or on any Subsonic-compatible server. No catalogue, no subscription, no algorithm. Just your library, on your server, organised the way you organised it. IMPORTANT SonicMate is a player, not a music service: to use it you need your own Navidrome or Subsonic server, which you already run or set up yourself. If you don't have one, you can still explore the app by tapping "Prova la demo" (Try the demo) on the sign-in screen. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Browse your library by artist, album, genre and playlist • Search across tracks, albums and artists • Stream straight from your server • Download tracks and listen with no connection • Create and edit playlists • Mark favourites • Come back to recently added and most played APPLE WATCH The Apple Watch app works as a remote for your iPhone: it shows what's playing, offers play, pause and track skip, and adjusts the volume with the Digital Crown. IN THE BACKGROUND Playback continues with the screen locked, with controls on the Lock Screen and in Control Centre. PRIVACY SonicMate collects no data. No tracking, no usage analytics, no advertising, no third-party components. The app talks only to the server you configure: your credentials and downloaded tracks stay on your device. REQUIREMENTS A Navidrome or Subsonic-compatible server reachable from your iPhone, on your local network or over the internet. SonicMate is an independent third-party client and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Navidrome project.
