Are there any desktop clients for Soundcloud?

Does anyone know a good desktop client for Soundcloud (are there any)? If not complete feature support then at least a player which can integrate and play Soundcloud account songs.

I found jamcloud, but it runs using Adobe AIR and Adobe AIR is no longer supported for Linux, furthermore if possible I want to avoid using Wine to run Adobe AIR.


You can try Tomahawk. There exists a Soundcloud Content Resolver. Tomahawk is abandoned.

You could install Tomahawk from a PPA for Ubuntu.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tomahawk/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tomahawk

Rhythmbox has also a Soundcloud plugin

For the Nuvola Player exists a feature request for soundcloud integration. You could mark the "bug" so that is affecting you.

You can write userspace scripts that allow nice integration with the desktop. There's already pre-packaged scripts available for Facebook and Wunderlist. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/?s=fogger


Clementine supports Soundcloud since version 1.1 (October 2012)


Yes there is, Soundnode App now support Linux besides Mac and Windows.


There's a command line interface program written in Ruby: http://soundcli.elephly.net/

It's able to connect to your SoundCloud account and stream your own music, playlist, favs. And, of course, you can play other's music.

Thing is: you can't browse. You have to specify the song you want to play URL.
