Soundnode (dedicated Soundcloud client)

[Midas]

For the demanding music lover, Soundnode immediately looked indispensable in this day and age of social-everything: alas, in the end it revealed itself non-portable...

A Soundcloud acount is required and can be gotten through the program and most Souncloud UI functions are available from the left sidebar.

Soundnode is multi-platform OSS based on Chromium browser and, although it doesn't require installation and didn't touch the system registry (apart from an empty key at 'HKCU\Software\Chromium\BrowserCrashDumpAttempts') in my brief testing (Win7 x64 SP1), it saves it's settings and files to "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Soundnode-App". Disk cost is around 82MB prior to first run.

• Soundnode App is an Open-Source project to support Soundcloud for desktop Mac, Windows, and Linux. It's built with NW.js, Node.js, Angular.js, and it uses the Soundcloud API.

Soundnode latest release (currently v0.6.2) can be downloaded right from http://www.soundnodeapp.com/.

Sorry about the duplicated entry, but I have a question about this app's portability. It seems the important settings for this app are associated with your login credentials, which are stored online. The only thing the app says it stores locally is last user logged in, last window screen size, and notification state, which make it not stealth but these settings can be "cleaned" off the local computer through the app.

So, if I can run this program off of a USB stick, login to my account, and access my playlists from anywhere with internet access, that seems to be a portable program, but I'm not sure of the definition with regards to saving preferences on an online system rather than locally. Sorry about my lack of experience in this, but I guess I'm thinking of an app like TeamViewer Portable, which appears to be listed as portable, and relies on settings stored in an online account.
