Features

Curated Playlists

Music comes from public SoundCloud playlists. Music Pro organizes them into focused playlists for work, study, reading, ambience, piano, orchestra, jazz, games, and more.

Personal Playlists

Add your own SoundCloud tracks, playlists, albums. Create and manage personal playlist folders, from saving your favorite tracks to renaming, deleting, and reordering folder structure. You could even turn off the list that you are not the fan of.

Auto-pause For Other Audio

When a website, webview, audio, or video inside Obsidian starts playing, Music Pro pauses automatically. When that audio stops, Music Pro automatically resumes the music.

Full-size And Compact

Use full-size mode when you want the complete app: player, tracks, playlists, search, and folders. Use compact mode when you want small controls nearby; it can auto-hide and tuck into the sidebar when you do not need it.

Install Music Pro from inside Obsidian:

1. Open Settings → Community plugins.

Privacy and Network Use

Music Pro is not affiliated with SoundCloud or Obsidian. Music Pro has no telemetry, analytics, ads, or account requirement.

It only connects to:

• SoundCloud, to play music and load public playlist info.

Saved locally in Obsidian:

• Your personal playlists and SoundCloud links.
• Playback, recent items, order, ranking, cache, and UI preferences.

Future Roadmap

Music Pro is not a one-and-done project. I keep an eye on bugs, playback issues, and playlist quality. Constantly, I check the playlists, remove weak or broken picks, keep the good ones, and add fresh music.

If Music Pro helps your workflow, consider supporting the work: Support on Ko-fi.
