How to install and use music software on Linux SoundCloud

For friends who like music, SoundCloud is a good music software, SoundCloud is a German website, now also has the client, after the Linux installation SoundCloud, can play music in the command line, The following small series for you to introduce the Linux installation SoundCloud method.

　　Installation

For Debian or Ubuntu users, install the following:

$ sudo apt-get install Portaudio19-dev libmpg123-dev libncurses-dev Ruby1.9.1-dev

$ sudo gem install soundcloud2000

For ArchLinux users, the package can be obtained in the Aur warehouse

For Fedora users, install the following:

$ sudo yum install portaudio-devel libmpg123-devel ncurses-devel ruby-devel

$ sudo gem install soundcloud2000

For CentOS users, install or upgrade to the latest Ruby/rubygems (1.9 or higher), enable Repoforge repo, install as follows:

$ sudo yum install portaudio-devel mpg123-devel

$ sudo gem install curses soundcloud2000

Finally, to the official GitHub page to get the source code

　　Use

Soundcloud2000 is very easy to use. Some people even say it is simple. I like the seriousness of it and the efforts of three authors and contributors. Start it as follows:

$ soundcloud2000

Here, you will see a splash screen:

Then there's the song list:

You can scroll through the list by the up and down keys, enter a song, the space bar is paused/restored, the left and RIGHT arrow keys is fast forward/rewind. As you can see, there is no breakthrough, but it's absolutely ergonomically engineered.

If the random list is too long to scroll, you have an option to view all tracks, and the user clicks on the ' U ' key to enter his or her own name.

This may be one of the major drawbacks of Soundcloud2000. Although navigation has not been optimized, I still have high hopes for the improvement and support of this very young software.

Reward

Another bonus: If you like the idea of using SoundCloud on a terminal, but don't want to install any additional software (maybe you can't), I advise you to go to cmd.fm. The site is a disguised SoundCloud, it hides behind a shell interface.

Enter "Help" to get a list of commands, which is much longer than Soundcloud2000. For example, I see:

_genres List all genres

_play Random Random Playback

_pause Pause Playback

_playlist new to set up a play program

_loop Loop Playback

_cinema like Star Wars subtitles.

It even supports automatic completion of genre names through the TAB key

Finally, Soundcloud2000 is indeed a neat procedure. We can forgive its current flaws because it is still young. I really hope it will grow and contain more features (and inspiration from the potential cmd.fm).

The above is the Linux installation SoundCloud method introduced, SoundCloud is the vast number of users to share the music platform, you can share their recorded songs, also can listen to other people's songs, is a good software.
