## What it is
CloudTunes is an open-source, web-based music player that unifies music stored in the cloud, such as Dropbox files and YouTube videos, into a Spotify-like interface. It integrates with Last.fm, Facebook, and Musicbrainz for metadata, discovery, and social features.

## Use cases
- stream music from my Dropbox in a web browser
- play YouTube albums and playlists in one app
- self-host a cloud music player like Spotify
- organize cloud music into playlists with drag and drop
- scrobble web music playback to Last.fm
- access my music collection from any computer

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted web player for Dropbox music and YouTube videos
- you want Last.fm and Musicbrainz integration in a music webapp
- you want to study a full-stack CoffeeScript/Backbone SPA with a Python Tornado backend

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, polished music player with active support
- you want modern tooling, tests, and documentation
- you need local file playback or a fixed streaming catalog like Spotify
