Hey Product Hunters!
We know you come across audio content on countless different mediums: on Youtube, Spotify, your Facebook feed, discovery services like Pandora, blogs, you name it.
cubic.fm helps you easily save these sounds and stream all in the same player, no matter what the source is.
Instead of asking you to change your listening experience, we wanted to be WITH you in your experience. That’s what our Chrome extension is for. It gives you a “save” button wherever you come across audio content; one click will add it to your library.
We believe that the music library experience has to be redefined for the streaming era, and wrote more about it here: https://medium.com/@onuryavuz/ur...
cubic.fm is currently in private beta, but our doors are wide open to you!
So excited to hear your thoughts and questions, we'll be here all day answering them :)
Look great! Very excited to start using it. Nice onboarding too.
Curious if you have designed for the case where links are deprecated or lost. Does it search for another source or just show a dead link? This was my main gripe with Hypem
@alokepillai We continuously check if there are any dead links, and update with the new one. There also exists the case that the algorithm doesn't find a new replacement, we're working on making it better :)
Nice product but you lost me when you placed an automatic tweet after I signed up with Twitter. You shouldn't do that without the user knowing, I suggest you ask people to tweet so they can skip the waiting list for example.
@dklimkin Thanks! Sure, cubic.fm is powered by APIs of legal streaming services, including Spotify, Deezer, Rdio, Youtube and Soundcloud. Even if you add songs from other services, we'd find it on these sources and stream it to you.
This is insanely cool!!
I used to make a note of everything awesome I find on evernote and then manually add them to my playlist on spotify.
Those days are gone..Thanks for making this!!
@akshay2104 👊this is a perfect comment, thanks Akshay! Similar to you, we had beta users, who previously created boards on Pinterest, with Youtube and Soundcloud links :)
This is great, it solves a use-case I've been wanting to see addressed for ages-- I "favorite" a song on HypeM, but have to navigate to a blog in order to "like" it on SoundCloud. Now I can save everything (including the occasional YouTube link) to an agnostic-playlist on Cubic.FM. Would be great to hook up a global-hotkey to allow me to pause, play, skip, etc. I currently use StreamKeys (another Chrome Extension), so I'm sure it's possible.
@peterkimfrank that's exactly the type of pain we want gone :) Actually, we had an old version of cubic.fm before this one, and it was integrated with Streamkeys. I'll talk with its maker Alex to cover this new beta as well. Thanks for pointing it out!
@erdemgelal Awesome. One small thing: I understand it makes sense to pop the notification every first-time a user navigates to a supported service, but it might be good to include a "I get it already!" checkbox option (in the alert itself) after the first 2-3 notifications.
@erdemgelal Ah, I meant after the first 2-3 /total/ notifications. IE once it pops on Reddit, Youtube, and SoundCloud, I don't need the reminder on HypeM, 8Tracks, etc. So on the 2nd or 3rd notification, you could include that checkbox. Anyway, loving it so far and thanks for getting StreamKeys supported, I'm a fan!

This looks pretty cool. I'm wondering on the tech details about running those services on the same player. Are you using something like popcorn.js? Great job!
@yaraher Thanks a lot. We do not use a third party library for that. We integrated each of these services' javascript sdks (Youtube, Soundcloud, Deezer and Rdio), and developed a player that can communicate with and control all of them simultaneously.
