How to use Soundcloud api to get stream into html5 audio player?
I've just started learning javascript and as my first attempt I'd like to create custom audio player which uses soundcloud's api as a source for music.
So far this is what I got set up:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://connect.soundcloud.com/sdk.js"></script>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
SC.initialize({
client_id: '10e27db0dacd00954d7160b4c092a6e2' //Demo ID
});
SC.stream("/tracks/75868018", function(sound){
$("audio-test").attr("src", sound.uri);
});
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<audio id="audio-test" controls></audio>
</body>
</html>

Ok, got it figured out. The problem was the .stream() - it's meant to deliver a prepackaged player, deployed by the .play() function.
If you use SC.get() instead, you'll actually access the properties of the track, and be able to embed it in an audio tag. See my code: http://jsfiddle.net/LpzpK/6/
There's still a problem - the tracks are marked as 401 forbidden, so the player is only ever "Loading". You'll have to find a way to make the tracks you want to play public.
