@dropthebas Hi Basil, I look into adding soundcloud login/save favorites to soundcloud account/etc things like that soon. But it won't come right away because this is a side project from my real 9-5 job .

@jayzinc@dropthebas wow. Fantastic side project, dude. Can't wait to see your progress with SC account integration
@dropthebas Hi again, I updated the webapp to allow users to connect their accounts to SoundCloud. The only thing that will happen right now is if you are connected to SoundCloud, when you Like or Unlike a song, it will also like/unlike the song on your SoundCloud account. Any other features wanted?
@prattarazzi Hi Eddie, I am really glad you like it. This was created as a side project for myself over the past few months to easily discover new songs from Soundcloud but now I decided to share with the world with the hopes that a few other people might find it useful. So, this makes me really happy.

@jayzinc@prattarazzi very good side project. You should integrate events api for your artists as well.
I like the product. Things that could be improved:
1. Continue to play songs after screen saver is on.
2. Continue to play songs when focus is in another tab.
3. Start playing new track when I switch categories.
4. Show songs list instead of album covers :)
5. +1 for iOS app

I think you should change the color of the playback controls. I barely saw them, because firstly I thought the site doesn't have something like this :D. Also, would be nice if you could log in with SC credentials.
@remusbaltariu Hi Remus, I am the developer of this webapp, I will play with the colors on the progress bar sometime soon and try to come up with something easier to see than light gray bar with white icons.

@jayzinc Awesome! thank you for your reply. Keep up this awesome work! :D

As a soundcloud addict, I appreciate this product. Though from a superuser perspective, I'd recommend maybe adding a 'list-view' for the songs. Also, the ability to "heart" and "repost" to soundcloud would be incredible. Do you have plans to expand the genres? How are you classifying the genres by the way?
@j_nce I will add List View to my list of things to do for the future. But the amount of work I put in is going to depend on if people use it because list view would be a decent amount of front end work. First, I need to learn promotion and work on getting social media sharing links and things like that first for each track. For the genre's, it looks at the genre the artist used on the track on SoundCloud and then I try to generalize it into either Indie/Hip-Hop/Electronic. So basically if the genre field on SoundCloud contains 'folk' or 'indie pop' or 'punk' I tag it as Indie, if it contains 'r&b', 'rap' 'hiphop' etc I tag it Hip-Hop, 'house', 'dubstep', etc tag it Electronic. There will sometimes be tracks tagged incorrectly. At the moment I won't split into additional genres because that will lead to more mistakes right now but it has crossed my mind to expand and refine the process at some point.
@ppaslier It's not personalized but if you have an account it gives you the ability to 'star' the songs you liked so you can go to 'My Favorites' tab and listen to your own playlist. Each category/genre is populated by searching a couple social media sites and ranking the songs based on a simple algorithmn
