Nuvola Player – music player

Nuvola Player is a free and open source project that offers cloud music integration for your desktop (system tray, Ubuntu sound menu, dock menu and notifications).

It tries to feel and look like a native application as possible.

To use all of the streaming services, you need Flash and HTML5 audio support. Some web-based streaming services can utilize HTML5 Audio technology for music playback instead of the Flash plugin. Nuvola Player requires GStreamer with MP3 decoder plugin to provide HTML5 Audio support.

Features include:

• Amazon Cloud Player – integrated with the MP3 store and allows users to store their music on Amazon Cloud Drive, and play that music from any supported web browsers.
• Bandcamp – an online music store, as well as a platform for artist promotion, that caters mainly to independent artists.
• Deezer – a French web-based music streaming service. It allows users to listen to music on various devices online or offline. It currently has 18 million licensed tracks, over 30,000 radio channels and 22 million users (1.5 million subscribers).

• Google Play Music – a digital content service from Google which includes an online store for music, movies, books, and Android apps and games, as well as a cloud media player that supports uploading a user’s own music and buying music at Google Play Store.
• Grooveshark – an international online music search engine, music streaming service and music recommendation web software application, allowing users to search for, stream, and upload music that can be played immediately or added to a playlist.
• Grooveshark Mobile – the HTML5-based mobile version of Grooveshark which does not require Flash.
