Nucube is now in public beta.

If your music library lives on a NAS, a DLNA server, a UPnP setup, an SMB share, or a carefully tagged folder tree, this beta is for you. Nucube is built for people who own their music and want a modern player without renting access to their own files.

The public beta is especially useful if you are frustrated by one of the usual tradeoffs: BubbleUPnP-style utility interfaces, Roon’s server and subscription model, Plexamp’s ecosystem assumptions, or generic players that treat a music collection like a folder dump.

What you can try now

  • Desktop and mobile downloads from the same website.
  • Local and network library access through open protocols.
  • Album-first browsing for real collections.
  • Rich metadata work powered by MusicBrainz.
  • Playback on device or through compatible network renderers.

What feedback matters most

The beta exists to learn from real libraries and real listening setups. The most useful feedback is specific:

  • Where setup is confusing.
  • Which platform download did not work as expected.
  • Which DLNA, UPnP, SMB, NAS, or renderer setup behaved badly.
  • Which metadata, artwork, album, artist, or queue behavior surprised you.
  • What made you return to your old player.
