Pros
Cons
The new mobile interface for Ubuntu One’s streaming service.
I really like the concept behind Ubuntu One’s service, but the way it’s executed make it difficult to enjoy. First, while the site is free to upload and stream from a computer, to use the mobile client, you have to pay a monthly or yearly fee. They offer a 30 day free trial, but to get the free trail requires a credit card. They say if you cancel within the 30 days your card won’t be charged, but I personally don’t like having to remember to do that. I would rather see access without a credit card, that’s cut off in 30 days unless you decide to pay for it. You can’t even get into the app to check out the feature set without giving your credit card, as you’ll get an error code without it.
Once you are in the app, you have access to stream any music you’ve uploaded, which is up to 2GB. To get more storage space is an additional $2.99/month or $29.99/year for every 20GB pack.
I have to say, after my initial review, I decided to go back in and give it another shot, and honestly, it just gets worse. Once I finally had an account set up and working, I couldn’t get any files to sync to it. It took me about 20 minutes to find and then install the Windows client, only to discover it only syncs files, not music. And to sync music, I would have to upload every file individually via the Web dashboard.
Great for uploading and accessing your music from any device.
Not very easy. It took me 20 minutes to get through the account creation page only to discover I really couldn’t do anything with it unless I give them a credit card.
Every day if you like to listen to music.
Easy to use once you get in. It’s pretty basic – the real meat is in the cloud behind the app.
(1.5 out of 5)
Should you Download Ubuntu One Music? Honestly, no. It’s a good concept, but for what it is, they’re asking way too much. If you actually wanted to, realistically, have your whole collection on there for streaming, you could be looking at $70-$100 per year on the yearly plan. I don’t begrudge them wanting to charge for some things, like extra storage, but charging that much just to access it on a phone when all the real functionality is in the cloud, is a big turn-off. And to not even allow me to test the mobile site without giving them a credit card they’ll charge if I don’t remember to cancel it in 30 days is a tactic I’ve never been a fan of. Give me a key that expires, then I’ll decide at the end of the trial if I want to pay you. On top of that, the process of trying to set it up and make it work had me ready to throw both my computer and phone through a window.

Uh, isn’t that just Subsonic only configured for the Ubuntu One Music servers? :/
It a good one to use it to listen any music daily without saving it and from any device but the problem is we need a credit card to access it
The features of this is very good but why there is a need of a credit card to access it for free trial just put and option of with or without credit card
Can you tell me is there any other any to use the free trial of 30 days without using a credit card? I don’t want to give details of my credit card.
Unfortunately, no, which was one of my biggest problems with it as well.
I really feel it is a great feature but it has great drawbacks to get start with it and this wont opt me to go for the free trail of it as it requires a credit card it takes long time for streaming etc…………
Its has a great feature of getting a music without storage in SD and also its better that we can listen to the favorite music everyday & anytime and its better to store your favorite musics and no fear of getting lost
The 30 days trial period is really not enough for this new feature of playing and store your favorite music why don’t you provide a limited applications for the free users and they need more then they have to subscribe for it this would be the better idea to gain more users and lesser complaints from them
The features are great and a better way to store your favorite music and play it any time without our own memory usage it is a great stuff but it requires a credit card which is a great drawback
I don’t see why everyone is so upset about adding a credit card. Most businesses require this before providing a trial account. For example, you can’t even use your iPhone until you setup an account , and part of setting up an account requires a credit card … Also, they’ve upped it to 20G but I agree, it still needs work.
