The SoundCloud people are moving quickly and developing some interesting stuff.
The Cloud Player is a browser-based music player. It lets you:
- Find and play all tracks from SoundCloud
- Save playlists to your Google Account
- Make smart playlists based on genre, BPM, etc
- Share your ready-made playlists with your friends
- Collaborate in making the best playlists ever
It’s a 1.0 app and a bit limited – but it’s an open source and could very well be the start of something much bigger.
I’d love to be able to provide a link on Synthtopia that would open up Cloud Player, with Playlists that I’ve selected of music by Synthtopia readers. Let the SoundCloud team know hat you think about it at their blog.
Check it out here.
Did you know you can already share a link to a playlist that you’ve made in the CloudPlayer as you describe in the post?
What’s even better is that you can make it collaborative. I’ve kick started a Synthtopia playlist here: http://www.thecloudplayer.com/share/36edd
Dave – I missed that in the UI.
Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll check this out. Maybe it would make sense to have a couple of “curated” playlists for Synthtopia, and then one everybody could contribute to.
