http://cmd.fm http://cmd.fm has command line client but it is in a web browser.

  I couldn't parse that until I clicked the link. So, it doesn't have a command line client, it's a website that offers a text based interface to SoundCloud. I don't think this is what most people would associate with 'command line client' though, while the linked GH project actually allows access to SoundCloud data from the command line/shell.

  FWIW I tried this service a few times over the course of a few months and could not get it to consistently work, and overall I wasn't impressed. I think a non-browser based one may feel snappier too, so I'm interested to see how this one works.

    There's an OS X client for cmd.fm. It doens't run on the shell, it's a standalone app but it feels like command line

The sense of depth in the logo is pretty incredible. In other news, does anyone know if there is a terminal client for Spotify?

  Considering how absolutely terrible the native client is for Spotify I'm assuming a terminal client would just run rm -rf / or some other joyful error. I wouldn't trust anyone at the Spotify team to code...well really any user interface, GUI or otherwise.

    What don't you like about the native client for Spotify? I (on OS X) find it quite nice, actually. (Maybe you're speaking of the Linux client, which I haven't used in a while.)

  http://despotify.sourceforge.net/ http://despotify.sourceforge.net/ Not sure if it still works. If it does work it requires that your user is subscribed to Spotify Premium I believe.

    For Spotify, there is also Artem Gordinsky's fabulous Spotifree: https://github.com/ArtemGordinsky/SpotiFree https://github.com/ArtemGordinsky/SpotiFree http://spotifree.gordinskiy.com/ http://spotifree.gordinskiy.com/ DISCLAIMER: This has nothing to do with command-line anything, it's just a useful project I discovered and wanted to share.

  You can use an MPD terminal client with Mopidy [1] (an MPD server). There are also graphical clients for both desktop and mobile. [2] Mopidy supports local files, Spotify, Soundcloud and Google Play Music, all mixed in the same playlists. 1: http://www.mopidy.com/ http://www.mopidy.com/ 2: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Clients http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Clients

This is really neat, thanks! I like all the browsing ability that this seems to offer. I should throw-out another option: youtube-dl ( http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html ) in the past I have used it for sound cloud cause the site does not work well (I can usually browse but not listen to anything) on my system, and youtube-dl only really needs python.

I wrote a specific SoundCloud downloader that's very easy to use: pip install soundscrape soundscrape black-moth-super-rainbow https://github.com/Miserlou/SoundScrape https://github.com/Miserlou/SoundScrape

http://cmd.fm http://cmd.fm has command line client but it is in a web browser.
