Go to Soundcloud developer site

Click on My Apps.. Sign in Register your new app Once you register you will have client id and client secret. Note it

https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/"TRACK ID"/stream?client_id="YOUR CLIENT ID"

This API url will give you the sound file you want to play. You can use this url and parse the track id to play according to your need.

You can play around the url with different stuffs like getting user details,playlists.
