Inspiration

After many long hours using the web application for SoundCloud (and closing all tabs one too many times) we decided we wanted to create a program that ran natively on the desktop that allowed us to stream from SoundCloud.

What it does

A media player that functions as a SoundCloud client.

How we built it

Used the public access SoundCloud API as a basis, then wrote Java functions to create a media player that could then interact with the API to control the music.

Challenges we ran into

Getting the Music to stream instead of download then play. Putting proper licensing on the application as to prevent us from being the target of legal action.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting the Music to stream instead of download then play. Removing the possibility of being the target of legal action.

What we learned

Streaming from SoundCloud is possible, but difficult.

What's next for Juicebox

Integrate playlist functionality
