Stoked to give this a try. I know the guys at Bop.fm have similar goals. What's the primary difference when comparing the two platforms?
@kam_bain Hey Kam! Actually, the idea of streaming multiple sources on the same player is in the focus of many emerging music startups. Some friends from these companies are in this comment thread as well. While the general idea about the drawbacks of fragmentation in online music is towards broken music sharing, we believe that the major problem is on the consumption side. We focus on maximising this player's value add by helping users effortlessly centralise their data.
Great onboarding experience, and I love the custom offer you guys have done for Product Hunt members. Shows you're really trying to create a tailored experience for your new users. Keep up the good work! I'm excited to try this out!
@seanoliver Thanks Sean! The feedback from our initial beta community is certainly what made this possible. I'm really happy that amazing Hunters are now part of it.
This is great, it solves a use-case I've been wanting to see addressed for ages-- I "favorite" a song on HypeM, but have to navigate to a blog in order to "like" it on SoundCloud. Now I can save everything (including the occasional YouTube link) to an agnostic-playlist on Cubic.FM. Would be great to hook up a global-hotkey to allow me to pause, play, skip, etc. I currently use StreamKeys (another Chrome Extension), so I'm sure it's possible.
@peterkimfrank that's exactly the type of pain we want gone :) Actually, we had an old version of cubic.fm before this one, and it was integrated with Streamkeys. I'll talk with its maker Alex to cover this new beta as well. Thanks for pointing it out!
@erdemgelal Awesome. One small thing: I understand it makes sense to pop the notification every first-time a user navigates to a supported service, but it might be good to include a "I get it already!" checkbox option (in the alert itself) after the first 2-3 notifications.
@peterkimfrank oh, normally the notification does not appear after the 1st time. We'll look into that, thanks for pointing it out.
@peterkimfrank Hey Peter! Thanks to Alex from Streamkeys, it's now integrated with cubic.fm as well :)
@erdemgelal Ah, I meant after the first 2-3 /total/ notifications. IE once it pops on Reddit, Youtube, and SoundCloud, I don't need the reminder on HypeM, 8Tracks, etc. So on the 2nd or 3rd notification, you could include that checkbox. Anyway, loving it so far and thanks for getting StreamKeys supported, I'm a fan!
@shwinnabego Thanks Ashwinn! Before our launch here, we came across your PH love letter and loved it :)
This addresses a problem that I've been having for a long time so I'm pretty excited to be giving this a spin. I'll know for a fact that it works when I find it to be a part of my music discovery process, leading up to the point where I can play a party channel when friends are over :)
Brilliant on-boarding too. Very nicely done.
@alirtariq Thanks for the comment Ali! Let me know when cubic.fm passes that threshold for you :)
i liked the interface and already joined the beta, i wish you best of luck. it seems interesting and i will start using it. For sure wait for some feedback from me
@mbalkini Thanks for the warm wishes Mohammed! Excited to hear what you think about your experience here.
This is great. Can I share channels with friends so they can listen to them? Can I invite people to collaborate on channels
@mbesto Hi Mike! We don't currently have shareable channels, but that's definitely on the roadmap, collaboration too :)
Awesome product! Would love to have last.fm integration to scrobble tracks though!
@lehrjulian Thanks for the love Julian! Scrobbling to last.fm is one of the most requested features and we'll make it possible asap. I'll let you know when it's ready.
Hey Product Hunters!
We know you come across audio content on countless different mediums: on Youtube, Spotify, your Facebook feed, discovery services like Pandora, blogs, you name it.
cubic.fm helps you easily save these sounds and stream all in the same player, no matter what the source is.
Instead of asking you to change your listening experience, we wanted to be WITH you in your experience. That’s what our Chrome extension is for. It gives you a “save” button wherever you come across audio content; one click will add it to your library.
We believe that the music library experience has to be redefined for the streaming era, and wrote more about it here: https://medium.com/@onuryavuz/ur...
cubic.fm is currently in private beta, but our doors are wide open to you!
So excited to hear your thoughts and questions, we'll be here all day answering them :)
Apparently close to what we do at http://disco.io. It seems to be pretty well done. Best of luck.
@antoinem thanks man! I know disco.io and you guys are doing an awsome job! Best of luck!
Very convenient! Get all your music in a single list (or custom lists) and play right within. I like it!
@alokepillai We continuously check if there are any dead links, and update with the new one. There also exists the case that the algorithm doesn't find a new replacement, we're working on making it better :)
@erdemgelal @alokepillai Good to know. I am 11 new sounds deep & loving it. Keep it up guys!
@batraatin Thanks for the love! Apps are definitely on the roadmap. I'll let you know when they are ready.
