GoPlayer: 클라우드 뮤직 플레이‪어‬ 13+

I’m really enjoying the app as a way to manage my Google Drive music library. Being able to play ALAC files in particular is great. The only area where I’d like to see some improvements is the way it handles a few metadata features. It doesn’t seem to manage multi-disc albums very well. Instead of sorting songs by disc and then by track, the entire set is sequenced by track. For example, the tracks will show up as D1-T1, D2-T1, D1-T2, D2-T2, etc. instead of D1-T1, D1-T2, D1-T3, etc. Another thing that would be nice to see is the option to group compilation artists together rather than having to scroll past artists with only one or two songs in my library.

I’m surprised by the glowing reviews. I bought this to be able to synch my mp3s with google drive as well as have a library of local mp3s. Every time I open the player it goes through a very lengthy process that seems to involve removing the track number from each song’s title, e.g., “01 I can’t get no satisfaction” becomes “I can’t get no satisfaction.” Attempting to play any song having the track number in its title (before it’s been removed) causes it to freeze, with an “X” inside of a circle displayed over the title that won’t go away. Also, every time I open it most songs (all local) are grayed out and can’t be played until the process completes. The UI presents the choice of showing “online files” “local files” and “on my IPhone.” What is the difference between “local files” and “on my IPhone?” When I click the latter and browse to what is an mp3 on my iPhone, the “add to library” option does nothing, and there is no way to select the file or folder. This is unusable!

I will start by saying I haven’t found anything better for the size of my collection. Apple and Google/YouTube both cap at 100,000 songs for their cloud music player and I got tired of the limit. This app solved my problem, at least in small part by lifting the cap. That said, it took over a week to process the metadata for all of my files and I eventually had to delete all of the album artwork because it was filling up my phone even at the smallest image size. If your collection is smaller and loads faster/fits with album art, this is a great player. If you are searching because you are over the 100k songs iTunes Match allows, give it a try but you’ll want to keep looking at the same time.
