SoundCloud Player is a Google Chrome extension that lets you play music from your SoundCloud account. The tool also offers the option to search for and download songs.
The add-on is ideal for listening to music without distractions, because it works in the background and even keeps running after you close the browser.
Once installed from its official page, you'll see the icon at the top right of the browser. Simply click it and log in to your SoundCloud account to start listening.
You'll then see three tabs: Home, Tracks, and Playlists. From Home you can access different songs, such as the artists you follow from your account or your uploaded music. From Tracks you'll get to your favorites, and from Playlists you can access your playlists.
You'll then see the add-on's player, which includes play, pause, stop, next and previous track buttons, along with volume controls and a timeline for the song you're listening to.
Although the most common platforms for streaming music are Spotify, Apple Music, Rdio, and Deezer, SoundCloud Player is a very good option for listening to and downloading music from the browser, without needing to open a tab (everything is done from its icon). Thanks to its simplicity, you can listen to your favorite songs while doing other tasks, and the add-on will never show annoying windows.
From Neoteo we recommend the UpNext Music Player service, which lets you play music from YouTube and SoundCloud.
SoundCloud Player is a free extension available for Google Chrome browsers.
