Soundcloud for the Desktop

genuine question - why do you not listen to music on your phone ? you get to know when you have a call coming in and not miss it..plus most phones have better audio chips than the desktops.

you can obviously connect a usb cable to your computer to keep charging the phone.

I'll answer my perspective as I use Spotify and prefer to use the desktop app when working than my phone. The reasons are:

- I use headphones, and I use Skype, so I wont use two pairs or swap them when Skyping. Skype for Desktop is easier to use than the phone (i.e. screen sharing, sharing links, etc).

- It is far easier to skip a track or pause it using a mouse when you're already using the mouse, than to take your hand away and use the phone.

- I can't watch YouTube movies on my PC when my headphones are in my phone.

Because why fill my table with devices when everything I want to do can be done on my laptop with one cable (headphones)
