SoundCloud’s playback widget and recording functionality get new looks

Pieces of the SoundCloud app are being converted to Material Design with each update. The latest update refreshes the playback widget and recording functionality. It also includes, as usual, bug fixes and stability improvements. The playback widget now mirrors Google’s guidelines for Android apps with album art, the song and artist, and playback buttons all present in one widget. The playback functionality now more closely resembles the guidelines, too, with Google’s dedicated microphone button appearing rather than SoundCloud’s own.

Hit the break for the changelog and download links.
