Music Player: Stream Audio from Any Storage

Your music lives where your files live — on a home NAS, a cloud drive, a seedbox, a shared FTP server. FTPie’s built-in Music Player plays any of it directly, with no “download before you listen” step, in the same app you already use to manage the files.

Streams directly, no local download

Most “remote music” workflows mean downloading an MP3, waiting, then double-clicking. FTPie opens the file from its original location and streams it into the player as it plays. No temp files piling up on your SSD, no syncing a 60 GB library locally just to listen to one track.

Supported formats

Works with every storage FTPie supports

Anywhere you can browse files in FTPie, you can play audio from:

• Cloud storage — Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, pCloud, Box, Mega
• Self-hosted cloud — ownCloud, NextCloud, SeaFile
• FTP servers — FTP, FTPS, SFTP
• WebDAV — and any WebDAV-compatible endpoint
• Local drives and network shares

“I keep my FLAC collection on a NAS I can’t be bothered to sync. FTPie lets me just double-click a track on SFTP and hear it.”

Playlist and controls

• Playlist management — queue multiple tracks, reorder, remove
• Shuffle and loop — standard playback modes
• Keep browsing while playing — the player sits in its own tab; you can move files, edit code, manage backups in other tabs without interrupting playback
• Dark and light themes — matches the rest of FTPie

Where it fits

The Music Player isn’t trying to replace Spotify or foobar2000. It’s the tool for when your files are scattered across remote storages and you don’t want to download them just to hear them. Paired with FTPie’s embedded apps (PDF viewer, Monaco editor, image/video preview), the app turns into a single place you can actually use your remote files, not just shuffle them around.
