Did you ever dream of having a massive 8 TB music library right at your fingertips on your iPhone? Well, it’s not only possible but also surprisingly easy with Evermusic and WD My Cloud Home. If you’ve got your cherished music collection, including favorite albums and exclusive recordings, and you’re wondering how to enjoy it seamlessly on your iPhone, just invest 2 minutes of your time to learn how to effortlessly stream music from WD My Cloud Home to your iPhone.

There’s an array of personal NAS servers available on the market, each with its own set of advantages and drawbacks. Some may be more complex, while others are user-friendly. Western Digital has introduced one of the simplest personal network-attached storage solutions, the WD My Cloud Home.

The primary objective of this storage device is to make setup and usage as straightforward as possible for all customers, eliminating the need for complicated configurations or setup profiles. Setting up this device takes a mere 3 minutes of your time. You can purchase WD My Cloud Home directly from their website here.

Once you’ve received it, just plug the device into a power supply and connect a network cable. Visit the home page link to create your account. Your device is now connected to the internet, granting you access to all your files from anywhere using your web browser. The next step involves copying your music from your computer, CDs, or DVDs to the My Cloud Home device, which may take some time but is a one-time effort.

Now, you might be wondering, how can all that music be accessible on your iPhone? The answer lies in Evermusic, the default music player for thousands of users who have grown weary of subscription-based services like Apple Music, Spotify, Plex, and others that eat away at your wallet every month, with sound quality not always up to par. Now, it’s your turn to decide whether you want to keep shelling out cash for features that you can enjoy for free. With Evermusic, you can build your own limitless music streaming service.

How to Play Music on iPhone from WD MyCloud EX2 Ultra, WD MyCloud Mirror, or Any Other WD MyCloud Storage

When you add a connection in the app through Connections > Connect a Cloud Service > My Cloud Home, it’s designed to officially support WD MyCloud Home devices.

However, if you’ve been able to connect your WD MyCloud EX2 Ultra, WD MyCloud Mirror, or any other WD MyCloud Storage, here’s a workaround to help you use it.

To make this work, simply create a folder in the app’s file manager after connecting and upload your music files there. It appears WD’s server only allows access to app-created folders in a “sandbox mode” for these devices, so this folder will only be accessible from the Evermusic app.

Please use Evermusic’s file manager to upload your songs to this folder. Once the files are uploaded, you can delete the local copies from your device and listen directly from your NAS.

Steps:

1. Connect to WD MyCloud Storage: Go to Connections > Connect a Cloud Service > My Cloud Home.
2. Create a Folder: On the connected cloud service (visible only in the app).
3. Upload Music Files: Upload your local audio files from your device to this folder.
4. Delete Local Files: Once uploaded, delete the originals from your device if needed.
5. Start Streaming: Play any uploaded media file directly from the folder.
