Google Play Music degrades the sound quality of lossless files such as FLAC and Apple Lossless by transcoding them to lossy MP3s.

In addition, each time you flash your device with a popular custom ROM such as CyanogenMod, you use up one of your authorizations.

Google Play Music limits the number of devices you can use to listen to your own music and only allows you to “deauthorize” 4 devices per year, including phones and tablets.

If you thought DRM was dead, think again. It can only be played in Google’s Play Music app.

When you buy an MP3 on Google Play from your Android phone, Google prevents competing apps and 3rd party developers from accessing the file using technical and legal means.Anything you can play in the doubleTwist apps (local music, cloud music, podcasts, radio) can be streamed to the HomePod.Ĭurrently streaming my lossless music collection stored on Microsoft OneDrive to the Apple HomePod using my Google Pixel XL – sounds amazing!Īuthor JonLech Posted on 9 9 Categories android, Apple, doubleTwist, Reversing 5 things Google doesn’t want you to know about Play Music

We got our hands on the HomePod today for some testing and everything works flawlessly. Like many others, we’ve been eagerly awaiting the launch of Apple’s first AirPlay speaker. Whether you prefer to store your music locally or in a cloud service like OneDrive or Google Drive, we’ve got you covered with doubleTwist Player and CloudPlayer. On Android we’ve supported AirPlay since 2011 and we currently support all three major protocols (AirPlay, Chromecast and DLNA). Since I co-founded doubleTwist a decade ago, we’ve been at the forefront of restoring digital media interoperability for users trapped in walled gardens. When Apple in 2010 released iOS 4.2 with support for sending video to the 2nd gen Apple TV, they renamed AirTunes to AirPlay. Shorty after the public release, I reverse engineered the AirTunes protocol and the key used to encrypt the audio stream and released JustePort, an open source AirTunes client.

AirTunes music is encoded to protect it from theft while streaming across the wireless music network and uses Apple’s lossless compression technology to ensure no loss of sound quality. Once the remote speakers are selected, AirTunes wirelessly streams the iTunes music from the computer to the AirPort Express base station. iTunes 4.6 automatically detects remote speakers and displays them in a simple pop-up list for the user to select. From Apple’s press release in 2004:ĪirTunes is Apple’s breakthrough music networking technology which works seamlessly with iTunes running on either Macs or PCs to let users easily create a wireless music network in their home. 14 years… It’s hard to believe, but that’s how long it’s been since Apple introduced AirPlay audio streaming (originally called AirTunes) with the release of the first AirPort Express.
