Quick Preview for Soundcloud for Chrome

While thoroughly engaged in a serious Soundcloud music discovery session, you might feel the need for a faster system of playing the tunes. If that's the case, then read on since this might just be what you were looking for.

Quick Preview for Soundcloud is a nifty, little extension for Chrome that provides you with the easiest way to preview a track, by merely hovering over the Play button with the cursor. Keep the cursor over the Play button for a little while, and you're bound to discover that the extension provides you with four short samples.

Even better, it allows you to preview content without losing the progress of any ongoing or playing tune. In short, the currently playing tune is automatically paused while the preview process of any other song takes place. It almost goes without saying that the progress is automatically resumed once the cursor leaves the Play button's area.

Quick Preview for Soundcloud can be deployed on your computer's Chrome browser with the minimum amount of effort, directly from its official Chrome Web Store page and it works regardless if you're logged in to Soundcloud or not.

As you may have gathered based on its straightforward functionality, this is a very lightweight extension that, just like most other tools of this sort, lives in Chrome toolbar, on the right side of the address bar.

Taking everything into account, even though Quick Preview for Soundcloud for Chrome is a very minimalist extension, its effect is quite noteworthy.

It's quite clear that this tiny tool is mainly intended for Soundcloud users who often engage in binge listening sessions and are looking for a simple way of playing small parts of any given tune without sacrificing the progress of other, currently playing ones.
