Pros
Pro Can play rare/exclusive tracks that are available through one platform only
Openwhyd can play tracks directly from Youtube, Soundcloud, Deezer, Bandcamp, Dailymotion, Jamendo, and also MP3 files and streams hosted online.
Some of those tracks cannot reliably be found on other platforms. Examples: songs from that local/indie band, DJ sets, specific live performances.
Cons
Con Updates may not come very frequently
This platform used to be the main product of a start-up company (whyd), so it was being developed and improved at a high pace. Now that it's become an open-source / volunteer-based effort, some bugs take more time to be fixed.
