info About NetEase Cloud Music

NetEase Cloud Music (网易云音乐) is the main alternative to Tencent Music in mainland China, with a community and playlist-led product that skews younger and more indie. Its comment culture and curated playlists make it a strong second surface for repertoire that has already been localised for the Chinese market. Delivery runs on a certified direct DDEX ERN 4.2 SFTP feed.
