SoundCloud help?
-
Hi,
I heard about SoundCloud and was trying to add a song to my blog at pctforpeace.wordpress.com. I’m pretty technically competent usually, but I can’t seem to get it to work. The player just doesn’t show up when I post the shortcode in that’s generated at soundcloud.com. The specific post I’ve been trying to embed the code in is at http://pctforpeace.wordpress.com/2010/05/09/158/
Thanks for any help!

I see your lonely thread but I do not use soundcloud. I’m so sorry I cannot help you. :( All I can do is point to the support entry which I’m sure your have already found. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/soundcloud-audio-player/

If you prefer not to wait you can approach Staff directly using this link http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

The “share” code that Soundcloud produces is wrong (the special characters are converted into the html for them, for instance %3A%2F%2F instead of :// ); if you don’t know how to translate those back to the proper characters, paste the code here between backticks, or link to the page where the song is, and I’ll convert it for you.

I just spotted a tutorial on soundcloud and as it may be helpful I’m posting the link to it here http://theguppypond.wordpress.com/2010/05/13/soundcloud-turn-up-the-music/ -
I have a lengthy post on my blog “thejazzmonger” about what a cool site Soundcloud is, and the players seem to be working perfectly. Here is a link to the post:
I just copied the link for the Soundcloud track then entered it into my post inside square brackets with the lead-in of soundcloud url=
It looks like this: `[soundcloud url=link]

I forgot to mention, you need to be in the HTML segment of the message editor, NOT the VISUAL.

thejazzmonger’s last info was the key. pasting it in visual mode screws up the code. It’s working perfectly now. Thanks!
