Built Devtunes FM just for this, recently been on Lo-Fi and Future Garage stations 😉✨
so cool! I've just discovered it from your comment. Any chance to see its source code? I've a similar idea, but I'm struggling finding details about embedding/streaming soundcloud tracks.
Maybe I just need to dig deeper into SC API docs
Unfortunately, the code is not public currently 😉
Anyways, a while ago I made an article describing it in more details. 😉
Ok, just one technical question: given you have N playlists with tracks, are you just using a custom player to stream songs from SC? Did you need to register an app on SC platform or did you have to use their API keys to do that?
I'm reading the docs, I understand what the app-registration or the API keys are used/needed for, what I'm unable to find/understand is what's needed to play a bunch of tracks through a custom player on a web page. I don't need search features, adding/removing tracks, etc... I just want to play a set of tracks (the list of track IDs/URLs stored somewhere).
Thanks in advance for your help.
All you need to work with their API is your client_id. You have to go to SoundCloud, sign in, open a track/playlist, hit F12, and go to the Networking tab, then start the song and use the search box to look out for requests containing a client_id. There you can also find other parameters like track_id, playlist_id, etc.
Then go to developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api... to see all the available API routes and use that client_id for authorization at the end of each query you want to fetch.
For example, to return a track, you would use
https://api-v2.soundcloud.com/tracks/{track_id}?client_id={client_id}.Or, to return a playlist:
https://api-v2.soundcloud.com/playlists/{playlist_id}?client_id={client_id}.Thank you! I’ve been stuck on the API for some day, until I’ve re-read your comment mentioning the API v2.
Still working progress, and I took a slightly different path, but it’s online and I’m enjoying it ;-)

thank you again for your help and hints!
My pleasure to help 👍😉
This is a really cool project!
Thanks a lot! 👍😉
I've been listening to the new Chili Peppers album quite a bit recently. 🌶
There's a really funky song called Aquatic Mouth Dance that I keep tuning into:
I haven't checked out the whole album yet but I'm going to today
Nice! I hope you dig it. 🙌
I've had this on repeat too! All of them, but especially this track and Poster Child 👌
Saaaaaame... the whole album is a lotta fun, but the funky tracks like Aquatic Mouth Dance and Poster Child are just such a good time. 🙌
For me, I have Skyfall by Adele on repeat a lot for some reason these days.
As far as music with lyrics goes, I tend to put it on repeat so the actual active listening sort of fades into the background.
Bob Ross.
While coding?
100%. Not only do I experience ASMR reactions, but his voice (like your repeat on Adele) fades to the background. There's just something about the sounds of the brushes, water, mixing paint with his knife and softness of his voice really sharpens my thinking. Sometimes, I admit, I get distracted by what he's doing. Marvel at it for a bit, then jump back into it.
Also, should mention it's a great Pomodoro timer too. Each episode is right around 25 minutes (minus the intro and credits).
Neat
This title ❤
Top three songs on my Spotify "On Repeat" playlist:
These last days I listened to more electronic music than usual, no idea why.
I'm big on vibey dream pop lately! I like to put a single album on loop for focused work, and I've been spending a lot of time with this one:
Surprisingly enough, these past few days I haven't listened to much music besides the playlist I shuffle through when I have to drive somewhere.
Instead I have re-connected with an audiobook that always seems to find me when I need it most, called "The Game of Life and How to Play It (Florence Scovel Shinn, 1925)".
I used to listen to the heavy metal thing back in the days. The first album I stumbled across was the one and only Linkin Park, Hybrid Theory. It is now one of my favorites. RIP the beautiful human bein' Chester. His voice is irreplaceable.
Edit: Sometimes, i listen to mozart:
Lots of Bonobo, Portishead, Chet Faker and Skunk Anansie.
Oh an the Codenewbie podcast too :)
Saw Skunk Ananse open for Rammstein in '99. If anyone was as loud as Rammstein, it was SA.
Never got to see them unfortunately. But I did see Rammstein and that was a crazy show that's for sure!
