“There is nothing to play”

Yeah, it is still a work in process by the look. In addition to the comment you found from June 22nd 2019, there is this below.

"Sorry for the troubles.  We are aware of several problems with Cloudplay on the Mac and Linux platforms.  We will have a fix out sometime in the next couple of weeks.  I'd suggest waiting until you see something in the release notes for a new build about fixing the Cloudplay issue.  Again, sorry for the delay and I hope you'll re-visit when it's been fixed for Linux."

So fixing the Linux/Mac Cloudplay server issues must be taking a while.


Even on Windows, playback from a browser still isn't supported, as noted in other Cloudplay threads.

"You can also log in from a browser by visiting https://user.jriver.com .  The play button doesn't yet work, but it will soon.  We also expect to add playback from JRiver for Android."

Coming soon."

But on Windows, if I click the play button both Chrome and IE will download the playlist. I can then import or just play that playlist in MC. Double-clicking it plays it.

Try that on your Mac. Or maybe you are already aware of that process, given your first post.

It's harder than it looks.  :-\

.....and this from most recent JR mailing,

“NEW: Cloudplay and Radio JRiver -- Lossless Streaming
You can now play more than 1000 playlists with almost 70,000 lossless online tracks.  These tracks are also used for Radio JRiver, so you can select stations of jazz, classical, rock, eclectic, or random, all in lossless quality”

No way of knowing which of the “Radio” files are from Cloudplay contributors, but it would seem these are cross platforms such that if “Radio” plays within Cloudplay, why not user lists ?

Play Doctor will finally give us the “Spotify” feel, it would be great if it went outside the JR universe of files, but that would be cost licensing prohibitive.

For now, I think it best JR refrain from news letters implying playback features not yet realized. ITune readers will not be impressed !

A little “mea culpa”.
I went to Panel and noticed Cloudplay now on the menu and sure enough there’s the playlists downloaded in the Cloudplay users que..... yes they play from Panel. So a light went off and I went back to my McBook and now see the playable downloads listed in the playlist tree. Ok, so the missing link for me was the user download files, although viewable, are not playable from the user gue ie “nothing to play”.

Tried creating a playlist from Cloudplay playback, making multiple entries, only to find it was not saved when I went back to tree to search for it
