Runs with mockssource: GitHubhomepageTypeScriptMITcommit 50a71b2da554
TypeScript, MIT licensed. The project labels itself: ad blocker, cross platform, desktop app, geo unblock, linux, macos, music app and music player.
SoundCloud-Desktop runs, with stand-ins for the services it depends on. An Argusic agent installed it in 1.2 minutes and hit 6 errors and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
The desktop/ frontend installs, compiles TypeScript, builds 2261 Vite modules into dist/, runs a Vite dev server returning HTTP 200 on port 1420, and serves the production build at port 4173 returning HTTP 200.
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 71 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).
At a glance
Subject data from GitHub, linked at the top of this page, refreshed . Test data by Argusic (CC BY 4.0); every number links to a run page with the full log, the recording, and their sha256 hashes.
What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.
What went wrong, in the agent's own words
The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.
- Node.js 18.19.1 too old for Vite 8 (requires 20.19+/22.12+)0.4 minutes
- pnpm not available in PATH0.2 minutes
- Rust toolchain not available0.2 minutes
- App/package.json requires private @sc/data and @sc/ui packages missing from registry0.1 minutes
- utils/call/client mock crate uses yanked wreq ^50.1 minutes
- desktop/src-tauri Rust build fails: system -dev packages missing (glib-2.0.pc, gobject-2.0.pc, webkit2gtk-4.1, libsoup-3.0) - cannot install without root

- Errors hit and fixed
- 6 hit, 6 fixed with no human help
- How the result was proved
- cd /work/repo/desktop && pnpm install (0 errors), pnpm build (0 exit, 2261 modules transformed), curl -s -o /dev/null -w %{http_code} http://localhost:1420/ returned 200 (dev server), curl -s -o /dev/null -w %{http_code} http://localhost:4173/ returned 200 (preview server)

What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load
- Behaviour against real services
- this run was verified against stand-in services only
Watch the session
The whole run, from a clean machine, at the speed it actually happened. Nothing is cut and nothing is sped up.
A recording of attempt 1, run , the attempt that decided the verdict above. The terminal recording it was made from is the evidence, stored with a sha256 fingerprint; the video is a rendering of it. Nothing loads from the video host until you press play.
The end of the recording
The last lines of the terminal session that decided this verdict, exactly as they were recorded.

Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.
How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Installed in 1.2 minutes.
- Recovered from all 6 errors without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
- Licensed MIT, as reported by its host.
- Measured 2 times, so the result is not a one-off.
What did not, or is not known
- Only reached a running state against stand-in services, so nothing here proves it works against the real ones.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/soundcloud-desktop)Questions
- Does SoundCloud-Desktop run?
- SoundCloud-Desktop runs, with mocks standing in for external services. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 1 minutes, hitting 6 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test SoundCloud-Desktop?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 50a71b2da554. 2 attempts are recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test SoundCloud-Desktop?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.13: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does SoundCloud-Desktop take to install?
- 1.2 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does SoundCloud-Desktop need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing SoundCloud-Desktop?
- 6 things broke in the recorded run, and 6 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.
- Where is the evidence for SoundCloud-Desktop?
- All 2 recorded runs are on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
