Store – VOX Music Cloud Storage

Most music clouds set tough restrictions upon the space given to store your music. What if I told you there's a cloud has no limits, literally. It's called VOX Music Cloud Storage (formerly LOOP Unlimited Music Cloud Storage) , and it's a winning combination of simplicity and accessibility. VOX Cloud is available to VOX users exclusively. How does it work? You sign into your VOX Premium account in VOX Player, and everything you had on a cloud is automatically in the player. It's true, you can have an unlimited amount of music regardless of the size or format. VOX Cloud doesn't convert anything. If you upload WAV, you listen to WAV. It's a great option if you prefer to listen to Hi-Res music.
