dub·plate · a one-off pressing, cut for the few before the release

The world hasn’t heard it yet.
You have.

Dubplate is a music player app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android. It turns a private folder in your cloud storage, Dropbox, OneDrive or your own Nextcloud, into a beautiful streaming library, for unreleased albums, rough mixes, and the records streaming forgot. Your music streams straight from your cloud. Just press play.

What Dubplate is

Dubplate is a music player for your cloud storage

Dubplate is a music player app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android. Connect Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive or a Nextcloud server of your own, and Dubplate lists your music folders, including folders shared with you, using read-only access. Import a folder and it becomes an album in your library: stream it straight from your cloud, or sync it to your device and listen offline. The first album is free with every feature; a one-time $1.99 purchase unlocks unlimited albums.

Dubplate asks each service for read-only permission, and uses it for one purpose: playing your music. It reads your account name so the app can show which account is connected, lists the folders you choose, and streams or downloads the audio files in them. Dubplate never uploads, changes, or deletes anything in your storage, and your library is stored only on your device. Details in the Privacy Policy.

Who it’s for

Made for music that isn’t out yet,
and music that never will be

Artists & producers

Live with the album before it ships. Sequence it, walk with it, hear the masters the way listeners will, not as a folder of files in a browser tab.

Labels, A&R, managers

Someone shares a pre-release folder with you, and it becomes a real album wherever you listen. Covers, tracklists, lock-screen controls, offline on the plane.

Collectors

Bandcamp buys, live rips, out-of-print records, bootlegs from the vault. The music that never made it to streaming finally gets a player worthy of it.

How it works

From folder to album
in under a minute

Connect your cloud

Sign in to Dropbox, OneDrive or your own Nextcloud on your device. Dubplate asks for read-only access: it can see and stream your files, never change them.

Pick a folder

Your own, or one shared with you. Dubplate reads the tags, or the filenames when there are none, and builds a clean album with artwork and tracklist.

Press play

Gapless-feel playback, background audio, lock-screen controls, playlists across albums, and offline sync for when the signal dies.

Two notes on OneDrive, so nothing is a surprise. OneDrive gives apps no way to list the folders others have shared with you, so add the folder to your own OneDrive with Add shortcut to My files, or paste its link into the app. And OneDrive support is built for personal Microsoft accounts: a work or school account may need approval from whoever administers it, which is not ours to give.

Running your own Nextcloud works the same way, minus the middleman. Type your server's address, approve Dubplate on your own login page, and your server hands the app a password just for that device, which you can revoke from your server's own settings whenever you like. Folders shared with you by other people on the server show up as they are, with no shortcut to make first. The address has to be reachable over https, and it is the only address the app will talk to.

Privacy, by architecture

From your cloud to your ears.
Nothing in between.

The Dubplate app has no backend. It talks directly to the service you connected, so your sign-in, your library, and your audio never pass through a Dubplate server. There is nothing in the middle to log your listening, and nothing to leak. Connect a Nextcloud server you run yourself and the last third party is gone too: your music goes from a machine you run to a device you own.

Nothing leaves your deviceYour sign-in, file names, and audio go straight between the app and your cloud storage.
Read-only, foreverDubplate never modifies, moves, or deletes a file. It never even asks a service for permission to.
Your edits stay localFix a title, reorder a tracklist, build playlists. It all lives on your device, not in the folder.
Leave anytimeDisconnect and everything is gone from the app. Your files were never touched to begin with.

A folder that will not import, a service that will not connect, a purchase that did not unlock: send it over and a person will read it. Say which service you connected and what you saw on screen, and it gets sorted faster.

Dubplate has no backend and no account system, so there is nothing for us to look up at our end. Everything we need is in what you tell us.
