@alirtariq Thanks for the comment Ali! Let me know when cubic.fm passes that threshold for you :)
@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!
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.
@erdemgelal when I click on the icon to add music from youtube it automatically adds it to the recently saved channel instead of the channel I created. Can I change this behaviour and make it save to my other channel by default?
@akshay2104 Currently as you save it, you can specify a channel to send the track to; but it'd add it to #recently-saved by default. Thank you for pointing this out, we'll definitely consider this for a better experience.
@erdemgelal Also I have noticed that I can't start playing my music directly from the play button at the bottom. I have to manually click on a track to start streaming. It would be great if I could just start playing without all that process.
That on-boarding experience... 10/10 you guys. So far it's flawless. I had a few youtube tabs open and I just closed them after saving. No bugs so far. Excited to see how this integrates into my music experience.
@irvingtorresyc Irving, thank you for the fantastic comments. We send you 10/10 of our love from Istanbul :)
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 :)
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!
Nice product but you lost me when you placed an automatic tweet after I signed up with Twitter. You shouldn't do that without the user knowing, I suggest you ask people to tweet so they can skip the waiting list for example.
@samuelbeek Thanks for the feedback Samuel, never intended to make you feel uncomfortable. We've fixed this.
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.
@fredsoneya We don't want you to miss out on any sound out there Fred, thanks! You're right, the auto-tweet thing was fixed rightaway.
This is insanely cool!!
I used to make a note of everything awesome I find on evernote and then manually add them to my playlist on spotify.
Those days are gone..Thanks for making this!!
@akshay2104 👊this is a perfect comment, thanks Akshay! Similar to you, we had beta users, who previously created boards on Pinterest, with Youtube and Soundcloud links :)
This is awesome. Just dug up a tweet from about a year ago looking for exactly this! https://twitter.com/kunaalarya/s...
This looks pretty cool. I'm wondering on the tech details about running those services on the same player. Are you using something like popcorn.js? Great job!
@yaraher Thanks a lot. We do not use a third party library for that. We integrated each of these services' javascript sdks (Youtube, Soundcloud, Deezer and Rdio), and developed a player that can communicate with and control all of them simultaneously.
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 :)
Very nice! I wonder if there is any way to bring it to the mobile world? It would be nice if users could save lists from Shazam.
@russberkun Hey Russ! We've built cubic.fm to redefine the music library experience for the streaming era. It would never be complete without a mobile app, and that's on the way. On the other hand, our extension already covers Shazam website. You'll find your save button next to each track you've shazamed!
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.
@erdemgelal cool product! i think i'll be using this a lot. can't wait to go through it tonight. tiny quick thing caught my eye, on the page that appears after you verify your email address: "Now redirection you back to the home page." redirection should be redirecting :D. good luck!
Very convenient! Get all your music in a single list (or custom lists) and play right within. I like it!
