Pros + Cons

Pro
 Unlimited online storage

It makes sense as lossless music files are generally very large.
Comment

Con
 The app could be better

First of all, it doesn't have a management app for LOOP. It could be a pain to manage your music library when you've uploaded quite a few. But the official team mentioned that they are actually working on it. Secondly, you can't customize the UI or even the color scheme. Third, the music metadata is not configurable inside LOOP. If any song you have uploaded has wrong metadata, you would have to upload it again, rather than edit it "on-the-fly". They are working on it though.

 Uploading is poor on a MAC and non-existent on a Windows OS

Promotional blurb is good but the reality is far poorer.
Comment

Pro
 Works well with iTunes, SoundCloud, and even YouTube

Comment

Pro
 Supports lossless codecs

Comment

Con
 Expensive

Subscription costs $9.99/mo or $99.99/yr.

 Is not free

The service costs $25 a year in order to store up to 25,000 songs online, which can then be accessed anywhere iTunes can. In comparison, Google offers a similar service (with more upload format compatibility) for free at twice the storage (50,000 songs).

Comment

Pro
 Upload library through browser

Google has added the option of uploading songs through the browser with the help of a Chrome extension download as well as directly through the desktop Chrome app.
Comment

Con
 Transcodes lossless uploads to lossy codecs

Comment

Pro
 Outstanding CD quality (with Elite Service)

For those that subscribe to the Elite Service ($19.99/mo), the bitrate is hi-def CD-quality 1,411kbps at 16/44.1 kHz.

 Available to customers living outside the US

The Deezer music streaming service is available in 182 countries. There are 192 countries on this world, which means Deezer is available in all but 10 countries.
Comment

Con
 Not a music locker (listed in music locker services)

Deezer is a streaming site, not a music locker. There seems to be no ability to upload your own music to listen to over the internet.
Comment

Con
 No settings to configure “Flow” to work as advertised

Flow is a great idea, but it fails to work as suggested. The idea is it listens to what you like and adds suggestion tracks. But mostly it just plays your track over and over, and pops in a random track, usually nothing you like. They need settings and better algorithms for it to work.
Comment

Con
 No Linux client

Compared to Spotify it has no native Linux client available.
Comment

Con
 Not a music-focused site (listed in music locker services)

This site is a file-storage/sharing site, not a music locker. The interface reflects this. I haven't tried, but I would be very surprised if there is even a music player function.
Comment

Pro
 Great to store lots of photos, audio and videos for free

Gives free storage space of 10GB up front, and up to 50GB free with bonuses. You can get the extra storage space by referring MediaFire to your friends or relatives, by downloading their software or posting their links on your social media pages.
