Note on Soundcloud: When you select a tune to play, you will be taken to Soundcloud in a new tab, where the tune will play. When the selected tune has finished, Soundcloud will auto-play another tune of its own liking. There is nothing that can be done about this, so just click the X at the right-hand side of the tab title to close the tab.
