Edit: the only reason I would choose the app instead of the web player, is the music control via the notification panel.

Spotify and Tidal have a web player and a native app, but Apple Music appears to have been hammered into iTunes with a shoe. Again, Tidal appears to have largely aped Spotify, and so both apps offer basic browserish navigation, a sidebar for accessing genres and stashed music, and a playback bar across the foot of the window.

Spotify has begun testing a new version of its Windows app, bringing its web interface to the desktop. Currently, the new app is only available to a small set of users, but it marks a shift towards.

The 2010s is a time of the rise of digital music comparing to physical (CD, DVD, Vynil). It often happens that streaming services and cloud storages are the best solutions for music lovers. Think for yourself, why have a separate device when you can just download an app, and that's it. Many music streamers offer web players, which are a bit different from desktop apps, allow users to completely integrate with social networks eliminating a need for downloading an app, and, generally, we can do everything in a browser.

Today, I'm comparing two players, namely Spotify Web Player and VOX Music Cloud for VOX Player.

They both help people enjoy their favorite music but in different ways, which makes them so interesting to study.

Spotify Web Player

Spotify is one of the apps that doesn't need an introduction. But if you still live in The Stone Age and are dumb as a rock, Spotify is a streaming music application that lets you listen to millions of songs for a relatively small price.

Although there are various streaming services, like Tidal, Apple Music, Google Play Music and so on, Spotify seems to have gathered the most music lovers, and one of the key reasons for that is that they have a broader access to music, namely the Spotify Web Player.

This feature came out a few years ago, but many still haven't used it. Today, I'm taking a closer look at both pros and cons of Spotify Web Player, and then you can decide for yourself whether to use it or not.

Spotify Web Player Pros:

Accessibility

The Desktop app is easy to use. But what if you travel a lot or use different computers all the time? Using Spotify Web Player, it matters not where you are. You can get access to your library with any browser, regardless whether you're at home, work or some party. You just log into your account using your account name and pass and listen to music straight away. Extremely useful.

Hotkeys

Something that the desktop app doesn't have. A beneficial thing especially if you have no time or will to switch between the apps just to play the next song. You enable hotkeys you need to download the extension for Chrome or add-on for Firefox.

Social Integration

With a new Web API, you can integrate Spotify content into Facebook, Twitter, and other website and social network. It's a good way to share music with friends and recommend something to listen to.

Intuitive interface

A major problem that lots of users face is an overcomplicated design that makes you google 'How to..' questions. Luckily, it's not the case with Spotify Web Player. In a browser, Spotify looks just like the desktop app without radio and some other function, but, overall the interface is same easy and understandable.

Spotify Web Player Cons:

Accessibility

Accessibility is both its strongest point and its main disadvantage. Once you close a browser, the player's gone. If it crashes, it's gone. If you go to Sleep mode, it's gone. It's very annoying, but it's the price for non-app listening.

Terrible sound quality

All streaming services including Spotify are famous for having gigantic music collections and low sound quality. Spotify app streams music at 256 kbps in OGG Vorbis. The Web Player has the same music collection but at 160 kbps. It's twice worse than typical MP3 320 kbps. However, as I believe, this quality is also far from perfection.

No Offline Mode

Both desktop and mobile app have options for offline listening. They include downloading and storing some songs. However, Spotify Web Player doesn't. It's pretty logical that a WEB player can't play without the Internet connection, but still, we want it.

Desktop and mobile apps still work better

Providing you have extra 50 MB, don't be lazy and download the app. First, it includes much more options than the Web Player, and second, it runs more smoothly.

VOX Music Cloud Storage

VOX Cloud is an online music cloud that works with VOX Music Player to store and play all your music regardless of the files format or size. Although I spoke about a web player before, I'm aiming to make a point why a desktop app is better than any web player or streaming service. LOOP is also somehow a streaming player, with the difference that you can listen only to songs you uploaded beforehand.

How is VOX Cloud different from other music apps?

VOX Cloud is an Unlimited music cloud. It means you can upload thousands or even millions of songs. The more you upload, the bigger library you have. Think about the quality. Spotify, Apple Music and Google Play Music stream at 128-256 kbps in OGG, AAC and MP3 correspondingly. They all are lossy audio formats.

Read Lossy vs. Lossless

VOX Cloud has no restrictions to formats of audio files. It's the best way to listen to High-Resolution music for you can upload FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, PCM, etc. with no compression or conversion (Google Play Music allows you to upload any format but eventually converts it to MP3). How it works with VOX: You upload FLAC 4096 kbps/96kHZ - you listen to it.

Moreover, if you're not good at creating playlists, you can sign up to Spotify and SoundCloud accounts to combine all three sources of music in VOX.

VOX Cloud Pros:

Unlimited space for your music

It's an essential feature as Hi-Res audio has finally become a favorite in the world of music. More and more do we pay attention not to the quantity but the quality, and it's beautiful. With VOX, you can have all your music library and not question yourself if there's enough space. I have a massive Hi-Res collection and whenever I want to find new music I go to SoundCloud tab. More on that below.

No restrictions to audio formats

The full list is too long, but among the famous one are ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, APE, PCM, DSD, CUE, AAC, OGG, MP3, M4A, etc. I honestly doubt you can find a format not supported by VOX. Hail to the quality.

iPhone and Mac sync for listening to Hi-Res music on iOS devices

It's true. Once you upload something to VOX Cloud, it becomes available for listening on all devices connected to your VOX account. That's one of few ways to listen to Hi-Res files on iPhone. Your iPhone's never sounded like that before.

SoundCloud, Spotify, and Last.fm integration

That is a necessary feature because no matter how big your music library is, you always crave new songs and artis
