Soundnode is an open-source Soundcloud app for desktops.

The package is entirely self-contained, no installation required: just run it, log on, and search for new music or listen to songs from your Stream, Likes, Tracks or Playlists.

Of course you can also like songs along the way, maybe save them to an existing playlist, or create one from scratch. It's possible to follow and unfollow users, too.

All this is managed from a good-looking, smartly-designed interface. It's NW.js-based, so doesn't quite have the richness of a real desktop client, but you'll still figure out everything you need to know in a couple of minutes.

There are gaps here and there: right now you can view comments, but not post them.

But Soundnode also has its pluses - like support for native media keyboard shortcuts - and from current developer discussions we suspect more features will be added soon.
