Is Terabox actually better than dedicated services? Let’s compare.

Verdict: Terabox is superior to Spotify Free because Spotify Free does not allow background playback on mobile. It beats Google Drive because Drive stops playing when the screen locks. However, Terabox loses on search. You cannot search for a song by lyrics or artist name easily; you must search by filename. Is Terabox actually better than dedicated services
Spotify shows you lyrics and artist bios. The Terabox Music Player shows you only the filename. It will not automatically download album art or sort by "Artist" or "Album" tags reliably. It works best if you name your files like 01 - Song Title - Artist.mp3. Spotify shows you lyrics and artist bios
