NetEase Cloud Music. The Chinese equivalent of Spotify or Google Play Android Music All Access Unlimited Pro, only better. Well, actually UI is only OK, is in Chinese with no English option, and their servers are not as fast as Spotify's, but it's still better for me because:

  • Completely free.
  • Every button has an icon so it not being in English doesn't impede much
  • Has all the syncing and playlist features others have, if you can manage to sign up for the service (which only took me about 20 minutes to figure out how, thanks to Google Translate).
  • You can still use it even if you don't sign up. You just won't have the sync.
  • Has a much more expansive catalogue than any other, probably because they don't care about no copyrights. I suspect it has every single song ever made available (not really, but close).
  • When you tell it to download a song, it downloads it alright. As an mp3 file.
  • If, like me, you're into Japanese or other Eastern Asian pop/enka/classical/anime music, it's an indispensable source. Spotify has only one album, a "best of", from Hibari Misora for instance, and all the song titles in it are wrong.

Their normal website is just as robust and usable, too. Plus, since it's a website, you can Google Translate it to see which button is what.

EDIT /u/supermario3 has graciously prepared a translated version of the app. See his/her comment below to get it if you're interested.

UPDATE English version seems to have some trouble with playlists (works great if you won't use the syncing abilities anyway, though) so I created an imgur album with screenshots in English for posterity and for those who will use it in Chinese but want to see what is what.

EDIT 2 Quick tutorial for registering: There are 3 log-in options for the service, Phone Number, Sina Weibo, and NetEase. You should register for NetEase, with the red, jellyfish-like kanji logo. Go to this registration page. First box is for your email, 2nd for password, 3rd for same password, 4th for captcha. They send a verification mail to your address, you click it and that's it. When logging in, you use your email address. The first time you enter, a popup asks you to choose a nickname.

Use the Google Translate plugin on Chrome to be sure about the steps.

CHROMECAST /u/as_i_wander lets us know that if you have root and Xposed, you can use Bubble UPnP to cast the audio to a Chromecast

How did I not know about this earlier!! Somebody translate this to English please.

[–]nvincentOneplus One 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (35子コメント)

I decompiled it. I can't seem to find the strings.xml file. I believe this means that it is going to be hard to translate.

[–]not-so-dubiousMoto G 16GB (XT1032) - stock 4.4.4 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (32子コメント)

Mind me asking how you're trying to decompile?

I used apktool to decompile and have managed to find the (rather lengthy!) strings.xml file in res\values

It's a file with length 1689 lines FWIW. Though Chinese makes no sense for me, the structure of the xml file gives you a hint as to what each value 'corresponds' to if you know what I mean as in this example:

    <string name="cacheClearing">正在清除,请稍候</string>

[–]nvincentOneplus One 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh awesome! I used an online decompiler, so it probably isn't the most reliable. I'll another one and see what I can do. I'm willing to dedicate some time to this haha.

[–]kuboaM7, LGGPGPE, N10 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Even if you translate it, won't you lose it when it updates? Or does the translation of strings survive updates? It gets an update about every two weeks.

[–]not-so-dubiousMoto G 16GB (XT1032) - stock 4.4.4 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I have a nagging feeling we'd have to decompile the apk, insert the English strings file and then recompile...

In short, we'd lose it everytime we update!

[–]CaffeinatedGuyLG G3 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Try contacting the developer and make an official translation within the app itself.

[–]nvincentOneplus One 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I'm not sure. Does it auto update?

[–]kuboaM7, LGGPGPE, N10 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

It automatically checks and downloads new versions (apk), and opens it, but you still have to press install after that yourself.

[–]nvincentOneplus One 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Cool. I guess we'll just have to be happy with this version for a while then haha.

[–]nvincentOneplus One 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (24子コメント)

So just to check, after changing a chinese string to English, all I need to do is recompile it, and it should be good to go?

[–]not-so-dubiousMoto G 16GB (XT1032) - stock 4.4.4 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (23子コメント)

I'm certainly hoping that all we need to do is translate, recompile and install!

For the moment, I'm looking around for an automated Android strings translater. If that works, I'll let you know. Moreover, if it does work, it gives us a 'base' to work from.

[–]nvincentOneplus One 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (21子コメント)

Definitely. If you do, you could send me the strings.xml file. You start at the top, I'll start at the bottom lol.

[–]not-so-dubiousMoto G 16GB (XT1032) - stock 4.4.4 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (20子コメント)

So I got a dirty translation of the strings file via Google Translate Toolkit, recompiled the apk and tried to install but it's not working, giving an error message of 'App not installed'

My hunch is that it's to do with signature verification perhaps? :/

EDIT: I got it working! Had to self-sign (at least that's what I think I did?) I should say however, the Google translate job is very sloppy indeed.

[–]nvincentOneplus One 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (18子コメント)

Sweet! So how about we go through it and clean it up. I'll pm you my email address.

[–]CaffeinatedGuyLG G3 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (13子コメント)

You guys better post here when you're done.

[–]not-so-dubiousMoto G 16GB (XT1032) - stock 4.4.4 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (3子コメント)

The other issue I've noticed is that some UI elements aren't in English which makes me think perhaps they're just graphic/image with text inserted (like you would in Photoshop).

Those kind of files would be beyond the reach of any strings.xml manipulation sadly!

[–]bobpndrgnHTC One M8 (AT&T) CM12 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Do you have the translated self-signed apk for me to test?

cough cough PM me the link please

[–]jpedraza253 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Please make a post if you do translate it, would love to try it!

[–]Anson_07 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ohh :( thankyou for trying tho. Appreciate the effort.

[–]Ryanm1114 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

What did you use to decompile it?

[–]RandomGuy_74 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

This sure is an awesome app. So far I have been using a spare smartphone I have lying around the house to translate the ui on the fly. I installed Google Translate, then installed Chinese. Then open up the camera, and hold it above your phone with this music app open. Let it focus on the text, then hit scan. It will grab all the Chinese text and just click on the different words to see what they mean.

[–]supermario3 31 ポイント32 ポイント  (7子コメント)

I did it!

 

I translated arrays and strings in English using Google Translate Toolkit (plus some minor manual fix). It's not perfect but it's usable.

 

Delete the original one and install this.
Tested on a LG G2 KK and Nexus7 LP.

You da real MVP. It works! Whoo!
My only gripe is that "Accept" says "Determine" but I'm not complaining. Thanks!

[–]kuboaM7, LGGPGPE, N10 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Thanks! Tried it on my Nexus 10 and it works great (love the Engrish: 'efforts loading'. So humble!) apart from one thing: it seems to crash when I try to go into my 'Favorites' playlist after the first time. Tried clearing data and starting over but same thing happens: works the first time, then crashes whenever I try to select that playlist. Doesn't happen with other, 'normal' playlists though. Went back to the official version, and it doesn't crash. Can anyone else confirm?

[–]supermario3 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I can confirm, it happens to me too. I'm sorry but I have no clue about the cause, I just decompiled, translated using automated translator and recompiled-signed. It was quick and dirty.

[–]kuboaM7, LGGPGPE, N10 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

No worries. I went back to Chinese, but it was great to be able to check the Settings to make sure I wasn't missing out on something. Thanks again.

PS Created an imgur album with screenshots in English for future reference. People can use it to check what was what if they go back to the official version.

[–]Rsenel 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Same here. It crashes every second time. Ah well, I can live without it.

[–]InsanityDouche 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Happens to me aswell but not just with favorites, also crashes using playlists created with the app and when going to my account from the top right corner.

Wonder what causes this and how/if it can be fixed.

You can't listen to Taylor Swift's Blank Space without paying. I am sad.

[–]blacmacSGS2 i9100 (5.0) 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Interestingly, Taylor is one of the few, maybe only, VIP artists on the app. They even blocked a song she was featured on. But there's a second artist listing for Taylor Swift, that while incomplete, will let you listen to her songs like Blank Space and Style.

[–]nvincentOneplus One 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (6子コメント)

There's gotta be a translated version of the app out there, somewhere. It is now my life goal to find it.

Edit No but seriously. I've been spending the last hour using Google translate to look at all the features. It is sooooo good.

[–]Op-So 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Please reply here if you do. I've been looking for the past half an hour or so with no luck. :-\

[–]nvincentOneplus One 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm going to try to decompile it, and see if I can translate it. I've never done this before, so don't get your hopes up lol. We'll see.

[–]Op-So 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

No pressure. It's relatively navigable in Chinese, so I won't be disappointed if nothing comes of it. I appreciate anything you do come up with, though. Thanks

[–]omeatoditcom 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I've translated the app's strings with Google Translator Toolkit and recompiled it. Unfortunately not everything seems to have been translated, but at least it's something.

Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/download/v5oy6d5v4ugibce/CloudMusic_official_2.5.4_2_signed.apk

Hope your life goal is now accomplished. Haha! :D

Seems like /u/supermario3 was 3 minutes faster than me. Should have refreshed before posting.

[–]nvincentOneplus One 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hey thanks! Another guy and I did the same thing yesterday though, and are now working on cleaning up Google's translation. We'll release the strings.xml file when we are finished, which, coupled with an already existing xposed module, should give you a good translation that will survive updates. Yay!

[–]omeatoditcom 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (8子コメント)

Here's the current version 2.5.3 with English strings translation. The playlists feature seems to work in this version without crashing with english translations. Also it has some Lollipop optimisations now. :)

Old link removed. New link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/v5oy6d5v4ugibce/CloudMusic_official_2.5.4_2_signed.apk

Does this have english music? Very interested if i can play some metal.

[–]kuboaM7, LGGPGPE, N10 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Yep. I'm not joking when I say it has (probably, almost) every single song ever made. I was just listening to Vektor and Xibalba today, for instance.

[–]Bobvark 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (4子コメント)

I have not heard of either of those people... Will it have Aerosmith and AC/DC?

[–]kuboaM7, LGGPGPE, N10 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Oh, yeah, definitely. I gave those examples to demonstrate that it even has those relatively obscure ones.

[–]Bobvark 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

OK, just to let you know, about that claim... it doesn't have Lithuanian popular artists. Yes LT is a small country, but still

[–]kuboaM7, LGGPGPE, N10 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Haha, it's not a claim, just a playful exaggeration. Its African music catalogue isn't that great either for that matter.

Have no idea, but the quality varies a bit depending on the source. Some old enka songs I've listened to were a bit choppy at the high frequencies, most others are good enough.

So I've been using it for a few days now, and I can tell it's an absolutely brilliant app. It's possibly the best app on my phone.

There haven't been any songs that I want to listen to, that hasn't been available along with all other albums of the respective artist. Not even the obscure stuff, like Touhou jazz arrangements.

NetEase is a really big company. This music service is just a sub-site/sub-service of the portal 163.com, which is the 20-something-th most-visited site in the world. That doesn't automatically rule out the possibility of bad intentions of course, but I don't see a valid reason to freak out more than we do normally about other companies just because oh no they're Chinese.

Edit: Casting via the BubbleUPnP app works on the Chromecast but root and Exposed needed. Thanks for this! I think the only downfall I see to this is no Chromecast option, unless i missed it?

Yeah, that's missing, unfortunately :/

[–]as_i_wander 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

(Edit: Need root and Xposed) Turns out you can cast to Chromecast with the BubbleUPnP app I would update your post to include this as the Chromecast is pretty popular :)

[–]kuboaM7, LGGPGPE, N10 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Oh, you didn't have to! Thank you so much. First time gilded, too :)

(By the way, nowadays I use NetEase only to download the songs. Since they're downloaded as mp3s with metadata, I then use an offline player -like Shuttle or whatever- to play them. Easier that way.)

[–]Drizz57 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah i noticed that they let you download them, im just thinking how is this free?? lol. Ill probably go on a DL spree and load them up into my google play

[–]kuboaM7, LGGPGPE, N10 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

They're Chinese. There's no God of Copyrights there :)

Maybe use something like Redirect Folder Organizer to automatically move the downloaded files to your Google Play Music Upload directory on your PC (which then would upload those to your library)? It should work, but I haven't had the time yet to try it out.

[–]InsanityDouche 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

This would be great if the app could get translated to english. So far I can find the songs I like and all, but messing around in the settings and stuff is really annoying at the moment. Doesnt really feel like an improvvement compared to Google Play Music like this.
