It decouples the name of the song from the source it was shared from - and fulfills the request using all of your available sources. This creates a universal translation layer across music repositories, streaming services and geographic territories.

Although not portable (untested!), Tomahawk is a rather promising OSS multi-platform audio player, and thus deserving of at least an entry here at TPFC's forums -- it's available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux, with discrete packages for most of the different 'flavors' of the later, including *buntu, Fedora and Suse (strangely, Debian seems to have stalled).

Re: Tomahawk (audio player)
After the Ghacks post about it, I decided to test it out:
Setup: Tested v0.8.4 On Win7x64
Status: Not portable
Test:
Some usage notes:
Setup: Tested v0.8.4 On Win7x64
Status: Not portable
Test:
- 1. Uniextract
2. Complains about VLC backend
3. Selected Soundcloud and Youtube plugins
Some usage notes:
- The program is really impressive with all the things it plugs into. It's not super straightforward or easy to use but once you get it going, it's hard to switch to something else. Very impressive.
Additionally, feedback, what's new, report bugs, check for updates, etc. Everything in the Help menu is great, especially the log file. Gives you EVERYTHING the program is doing. I love that kind of insight.
- The "legal information" link just goes to the homepage.
- Usability is a little wonky. I had to click on a few things to get somewhere. Maybe an intro video?
- Stations didn't seem to function via Mood or Style settings.
- More modular screen size more modular. The MINIMUM size for the player screen is 1216x994. That's a lot of screen real estate.
