What do you use for music player on PC?

Knowing that Google Play Music is shutting down this year, I'm looking for new options. So I installed CloudPlayer on my Android and plan to probably store my music on OneDrive. HOWEVER, that leaves me without a music player on my Windows 10 desktop. What do others do in this situation? I've loved that I could seamlessly switch from desktop to Android with Google Play Music, but it doesn't look like CloudPlayer has that capability.

  Hello @J A. We have not tested using Nox or Bluestacks but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work.

  Hi Benjamin,

  One option that works for me is Astiga (asti.ga).  You can create a free account, and then sync from your cloud storage of choice (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).  They have a Windows app, but it's basically the same as using your browser.

  Once you've sync'ed (which you can do every 3 days with a free account) you get a very nice view of your music collection, including artist artwork and so on.

  They even have an Android app (and there are multiple subsonic-compatible Android apps because Astiga is a subsonic server), although I prefer Cloud Player for phone/tablet use.

  I have just started with CloudPlayer, but I have been wondering if I could use the actual CloudPlayer app via an Android emulator in my PC. I've used Nox in the past as an Android emulator and it worked nicely for games and such. I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to try it in the near future.
