Nice to finally have something going the other direction; The recent SoundCloud redesign is a usability nightmare.

> SoundCloud: Mind if we keep playing music after this song with no indicator of how to stop it or setting to prevent it from happening? Too bad!

Excited to use this, but I don't have installation instructions...

Cool :) Please have a look at the README (https://github.com/grobie/soundcloud2000#installation).

And keep in mind that this is a hack version and still in alpha status. We'll add more features during the next days, including the ability to listen to something else than the hardcoded track list of Four Tet.

Awesome! Thanks for adding instructions.

You could do much worse than a hardcoded Four Tet tracklist, but I'm looking forward to listening to other stuff. :)

I admit that the behavior is quite odd at first, but once you get used to it, it is really useful. It is the behavior you would expect in a desktop app — for example, you wouldn’t want iTunes to stop playing when you select a playlist, would you?

Great, I use debian, and the version of gnash I have (0.8.11~git.master21579-20120430-none) won't stream from soundcloud or e.g. rephlex. However gnash isn't so broken that it can't stream audio. For example the flash streamer on www.zippyshare.com works fine with gnash. I will give this command line tool a bash. At the moment am limited to downloading from soundcloud by this.
