The best Soundcloud app I've come across so far. Love it!

SC should have done this ages ago imho.

YES! As soon as I saw this I clicked it so hard! x3
Joshua Pinter
@connor_stuff "I clicked it so hard" Hahaha.

I just released the latest version of http://www.soundnodeapp.com/ go check it out and let me know what you think.

I tried this ~6 months ago and couldn't get it to work. I'll give it another try. I've also heard great things about Cumulus.
Michael Lancaster
@rrhoover :/ you should have told me about it I would have investigate.. we had some issues related to logging (because of NW.js bugs). Try again and let me know if you have any issues.

needs some work to be done (especially for UX, and features like "Charts") but it was a need for sure. great work guys..
Michael Lancaster
@tolgaarican I have been using Soundnode for so long that I didn't even know about Soundcloud Charts.. I really liked too so here's the implementation on Soundnode https://github.com/Soundnode/sou... This feat will be released in the next version. thanks
Michael Lancaster
@tolgaarican Oh and as you can see I'm not great with UX so I could use some help ;) feel free to participate.. use github to suggest UX improvements please.
Tolga Arıcan
@weblancaster thx for the response & attention on details.. added to my watchlist on github & would love to contribute..

I have been waiting for this forever. I wish Soundcloud had done it already.

I installed it when I see the article by @ow on TheNextWeb. For me SoundNode for Soundcloud is like Plug for Hypemachine. You can use the website only but when you use the app, it greatly enhances the experience. Great work @weblancaster . Little feedback, I would love to be able to like a song when I click on the artwork at the bottom of this app.
Michael Lancaster
Thanks @mrcalexandre I have planned to add that feat to the player (bottom part), although I have a couple of major things to come first.
Michael Lancaster
@mrcalexandre I actually added this morning..so will be available in the next version.

Wow, this has a great deal of polish. Feels responsive, fast. Design is fantastic (do I see a little spotify inspiration going on?). Great work. I also recommend VOX (http://coppertino.com/vox/mac) which has a pretty neat SoundCloud integration. It's compact and has been my player of choice for about a year now. Will give SoundNode a try today, see if it can beat VOX. Update: When scrubbing forward on the song timeline, there should be some sort of click feedback. Right now I click somewhere ahead of where it's currently playing and it sort of freezes for a second while it loads. I suggest some type of indicator that it's "seeking" or buffering to where I clicked. A Simple "buffering" should do the trick.

I dreamt about this since a long time. So glad it's existing :) Thanks @weblancaster. Will use it A LOT in the next few days!!

I'm working on the same kind of app for YouTube (https://github.com/YannBertrand/...), SoundNode will inspire me for sure!
Svenn-Petter Mæhle
Nice work! Been using this a lot the last few days.
daniel morgan
have been using it the last few days love it. big fan guys

Issue on mac: when pressing Cmd+W the whole app closes and the music stops, can you treat that action as Cmd+H like Spotify does?
Michael Lancaster
@clipscom2015 It's an possibility, can you add that to Github? otherwise I can do it myself.

I think the playlist layout needs redoing a bit to make it more of a main thing instead of all playlists crammed into one bit, maybe have the list of playlists where you can select a list, then view the playlist in the stream or list format (option?) and it'll just play through them, don't know if I'm just missing something but yeah.
Matt Nish
Are there ads on this, like SC's mobile app?
Jared Schaffer
Nothing beats Soundcloud 2.0.1 from back in the day but SoundNode makes Soundcloud more visually pleasing. Also a big fan of http://soundcleod.com/
Joe Barbour
So glad someone has finally made a full Desktop client rather than a status bar app, and it's really good! I Like how I can play with the play button the keyboard. It would be nice to see tools to play audio though other sources, like apple tv.

A desktop app at long last! Last night I attended a panel discussion with a senior member of Soundcloud participating - apparently separate native apps for listeners and creators seem to be the focus at present. So thankfully we now have SoundNode!
