The Cloud Player

The Cloud PlayerI’ve been writing earlier on this blog about how music is moving to the cloud. Here’s something on that note: Henrik and I have spent the last few weekends building an iTunes-like music player that runs in the browser (currently not in IE) and uses the SoundCloud API as its music source.

The Cloud Player let’s you save playlists to your Google Account, and you can share them with your friends as well. Here’s a playlist with some electronic favorites of mine.

The Cloud Player is built on jQuery, SoundManager 2 and Google App Engine, and it’s open-source and forkable on Github.

UPDATE: We’re on Ajaxian.com!

  • I'd prefer a san-serif font... and the search doesn't seem to work. Otherwise: Cool stuff!
  • @jörn hey, thanks for the tip. it was working on mac, added arial fallback in stylesheet for windows now. and the search actually does work but is very slow since our API is overloaded by ajaxian.com and other sites. Need to work on scaling asap!
  • Alright! I waited for quite some time for results to show up, so I couldn't tell the difference between being broken and overloaded :-)
  • Very very cool, be great to get something in between this and the soundcloud 'set' player so people can make their own playlists to embed wherever!
