So you’ve taken digital pros’ advice and put all of your files in the cloud: on Dropbox, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Soundcloud. Now what?

Unless you’ve got a razor-sharp memory, you probably don’t remember exactly where you put photos of your baby’s first birthday or the recording of the cool song you made in your bedroom last year — never mind that you’ve got gads of music spread across three different services. That’s where Jumptuit TV, and its new compatibility with smart TVs, comes in.

The service, which streamlines all of your media stored on various devices and cloud services, announced new support for Android and Tizen Smart TVs earlier this week at the Mobile World Congress. It can already be accessed via the web as well as apps for iOS, Windows, and OS X.

With an integrated player, users can now use one app to view photos or documents, and play movies, TV shows and music.

“If all of your devices and cloud services are connected to Jumptuit, you have immediate access from your Smart TV to all of your media regardless of whether your devices are compatible or your applications and cloud services are available on your Smart TV,” said Donald Leka, TransMedia Chairman and CEO in a statement on the new update.

Jumptuit - One App To Rule Them All

In short, Jumptuit TV allows users to access, view and listen to your content across a wide variety of cloud services within the app on the web, a smartphone or a smart TV. It has the option of either showing all of your content on one screen, or dividing it up into four sub-categories: Photos, Music, Videos and Documents. The app also allows you to swipe between photos, music and videos and create slideshows and playlists.

“Jumptuit’s Smart TV user-friendly interface and voice enabled search are designed to overcome the limitations of Smart TV navigation,” explained Leka.

Jumptuit supports leading cloud services including Amazon Cloud Drive, Box, Dropbox, Facebook, Flickr, Google Drive, Instagram, Microsoft OneDrive, Photobucket, Picasa, Soundcloud, Spotify, Vimeo, Xbox and YouTube.

A $20 Chromecast with Google TV is perfect for this one reason
Chromecast with Google TV.

Normally, I would never recommend that someone buy a streaming device that tops out at 1080p resolution. Even if you somehow don't have a 4K TV already — I'm not judging, there are plenty of good reasons — you might well have one in the future. And at that point, it's better to not have to buy new hardware until absolutely necessary. Just go ahead and spend the extra $30 now for a 4K version.

But it's hard to say no to a $20 Chromecast with Google TV HD.

Tidal vs. Spotify: Which music streaming service has the features you need?

Spotify is the world's leading music streaming service, with over 236 million active paid subscribers and a vast library of artists, albums, podcasts, and audiobooks. It is available on almost every desktop and mobile device. However, if you are a fan of hi-res audio, Tidal may be a better option as it emphasizes hi-res content and offers a vast collection of music and video content.

To determine which platform is better, we compared Spotify and Tidal based on price, sound quality, and supported devices.
Price
Spotify has two tiers of service for individual users. The free, ad-supported tier gives access to the entire library of Spotify content, but has restrictions on how you can interact with it and also has ads. The full-featured Premium plan costs $11 per month, which is standard for the industry now. Spotify also offers plans for two individuals for $15 per month, called Spotify Premium Duo, and a six-person family plan (with parental controls) for $17 per month. There's also a student plan at just $6 per month.

What is Qobuz?
Qobuz is a music-streaming platform with access to over 100 million songs, all of which are available in the hi-res FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) format.
