Think, Eric, Think!

I’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!

As some of you might know, we’re a small team in Berlin hard at work building the world’s best web service for music pro:s. Today I’m proud to say that we got some coverage by 37signals, a company I highly respect for their excellent products, people and methods. I’m also glad that they’re focusing on our player UI, since it’s something we’ve put a lot of effort into getting right. We still have a lot of cool and exciting updates coming, also for the player, but I believe it’s already doing a great job for the 1000:s of people discussing music on SoundCloud today. We just recently launched the embeddable version, and it can already be found in a lot of interesting places on the web.
