Can this work on Linux? I followed the instructions to build myself with npm and when I run npm start I get this:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir 'C://BetterSoundCloud'
    at Object.mkdirSync (node:fs:1372:26)

I think the mkdir 'C://BetterSoundCloud bit is the problem here, but I'm not a developer. On Linux there is no C: drive

yeah thats the main issue on linux, im doing a complete rework on the project and it is based on "electron forge" and "app directory variable" which make it fine for linux. the rework will be released soon enough, i will attach the release link as soon as it work out

I would really appreciate it if you came out with a Linux release. There are currently no desktop clients for SoundCloud on Linux, ever since the API change.

I would like to learn some more software dev myself. Electron is great for these kind of things, Quark Player for example is awesome. Maybe AI will make this kind of code trivial, haha
