Features & Capabilities

Features

Easily toggle playback or skip songs from the popup or via keyboard shortcut
Like and unlike the song you are currently listening to from the popup

Keyboard Shortcuts

Toggle SoundCloud playback: Shift + Ctrl + 5 Rewind song playing on SoundCloud: Shift + Ctrl + 6 Skip to next song on SoundCloud: Shift + Ctrl + 7

Due to the varying default shortcuts on different operating systems and user preference shortcuts can be changed in the addon preferences.

Keyboard shortcuts should consist of two or three keys:

modifier This can be any of: "Ctrl", "Alt", "Command", "MacCtrl".
secondary modifier (optional) For now only the Shift key is supported
key (mandatory) This can be any one of:
- the letters A-Z
- the numbers 0-9
- the function keys F1-F12
- Comma, Period, Home, End, PageUp, PageDown, Space, Insert, Delete, Up, Down, Left, Right

Note: If a key combination is already used by the browser, or by an existing add-on, then you can't override it. You will be allowed to define it, but your event handler will not be called when the user enters it. On Mac the Command or ⌘ key might fail to register in that case recording can be canceled by pressing esc.

User Reviews

Works just as advertised. I love it, It's super convenient while studying. My only complaint is that I can't adjust the track timeline, so if you listen to massive mixes or podcasts, you listen start to finish, no going back 2 minutes if you missed something.

Is SoundCloud Control Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

SoundCloud Control requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

SoundCloud Control has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
