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?
I had the same issue until I discovered you can pause playback with spacebar. I agree that the lack of an indication for pause/play is a serious oversight.
That being said I prefer the new design over the old.
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.
Cool to hear that there are real use cases for this hack. We currently depend on Apple's CoreAudio library, but we have some plans to switch to a more generic solution to support Debian/linux as well.
Thanks for open sourcing this. Could you please add your license details to the project, as I'm pretty keen to build a podcast player from it (assuming certain permissive licenses).
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.
My 'favorite' part of the SC redesign is how I can't scroll downward ... only the top of the page is visible. I've run across no other page on the web like that. Digg it.
haha, a terminal emulator that only works on an OS for people who hate terminals, known for its stylistic graphics appeal. Great job, irony driving hipsters!

> 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!

I would love to run this on Linux - yet one more thing I can do straight from my terminal.
