MP3 Files saved

In the ~/.soundcloud2000 folder there are serval mp3 files that are actually the songs from soundcloud. They should not be kept there as many songs on soundcloud are under copyrights. A possibility could be that they will be deleted right after listening. This will slow down the player but soundcloud2000 would be more on the legal side.

Not really slowing down tho. Deleting files it super fast. The program doesn't access cached files so even if you would have it on your disk, the program would just re-download it. The problem is, there is no way to stream https streams on OS X/Linux. None of the libraries available supports it. So the stream needs to be downloaded, which is already against the ToS of SoundCloud. So just by using it, you are breaking the law.
