  For some reason, I can’t get the Soundcloud link working on my site…I’ve tried everything….even changed themes a couple times…to no avail. I’ve tried to embed the player and I’ve tried just to add the link according to the instructions.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Thanks!

  Am assuming you followed the instructions here?

  SoundCloud Audio Player

  You’ve got the same problem I have. I can’t see them either. Others say they can see them on my blog though at http://opposablethumbz.wordpress.com/ .

  I reported this to staff back when the soundcloud thing was first announced, and they keep telling me they can’t reproduce it even with a system they say is identical to mine.

  I’m glad at least one other person is seeing the problem. It means if I’m crazy, at least I have some company.

  Thanks for your reply, Richard.

  They are right…..your Soundcloud post-ings are both showing and playing fine. If you wouldn’t mind checking mine, I’d appreciate it. I just checked mine again with Firefox and Safari and still not showing!

  At least YOU know that yours is there!
  Cheers

  Don’t mind mentioning that I don’t even see the shortcode for the soundcloud widget in the code produced for the Page; all I get if I right click on the space where it’s supposed to be, the Flash Player tells me the “movie didn’t load”.

  Yes, I followed the instructions to the tee. But I’ll do it again right now just to be sure…..

  Thanks.

  If it comes down to a Support ticket in the end, FWIW I’m using FF 3.5.2 on a PC.

  And now for an 8-hour “break”. G-night.

  Ok, now its working….I switched from “Visual” view to the “HTML” view and then pasted the code it.

  But why don’t I see any HTML code/tags??

  Thanks for your help.

  I mean the code for the rest of the page….not the Soundcloud code….

  @ onemansjournal, I don’t see your soundcloud player on the music page. Safari web inspector reports the same problems I see when I try viewing mine.
