Hello, I used to listen to Youtube music on browser and Spotify.<p>I feel like these 2 platforms distract me while I am working.<p>Sometimes, I open them to switch song and I waste a few minutes to watch a recommend Youtube video or browse through the Global TOP 50 song on Spotify.<p>So that&#x27;s why I want to create a menu bar app to eliminate distractions.<p>Why SoundCloud?<p>Soundcloud says it has over 125 million songs on its platform<p>With Soundcloud, I can:<p>- Listen to mixes style songs and undiscovered charming artists<p>- Listen to cover and remix music<p>- Listen to lo-fi producers and up-and-coming rappers<p>- Listen to focus calm music: Baroque, piano<p>- Listen to podcast show<p>But, most of SoundCloud Mac apps required login to listen. I just like to paste a playlist url and then listen. No need to create account.<p>So I create the Soundbar app to fulfill my requirements first. If you feel like me, please give it a try.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;soundbar.app&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;soundbar.app&#x2F;</a><p>WARNING: This app doesn’t support authentication yet. You can not use the SoundCloud Go feature. That mean you can listen to a song that the uploading artist is offering this track to SoundCloud Go subscribers.
