For creating custom SoundCloud players, I highly recommend react-soundplayer or for a more general solution, see plyr.
Angular directive for custom SoundCloud players jxnblk.com/plangular
npm install plangular-3Or install with Bower:
bower install plangularOr use the CDN:
<script src="http://d2v52k3cl9vedd.cloudfront.net/plangular/3.1.0/plangular.min.js"></script>Include a link to plangular after including Angular.
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.15/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/plangular/dist/plangular.min.js"></script>Configure Plangular with your own client_id.
For new SoundCloud apps, you can register at https://developers.soundcloud.com/
<body ng-app="app">
<script>
var app = angular.module('app', ['plangular'])
.config(function(plangularConfigProvider){
plangularConfigProvider.clientId = '[YOUR-CLIENT-ID]';
});
</script>

<button ng-click="play()">Play</button>
<button ng-click="pause()">Pause</button>Use the hhmmss filter to format seconds as hh:mm:ss strings.

<img ng-src="{{ track.waveform_url }}" alt="waveform" />Note: The waveform image that the SoundCloud API provides is a 1200 x 280px PNG with a light gray frame and transparent middle. To show progress use absolute positioning with the waveform in front. The light gray color is #efefef.
Use the ng-if directive to show and hide content based on whether the track has loaded.
<div ng-if="!track"><!-- Loading state --></div>
<div ng-if="track"><!-- Player --></div>Use the tracks array and ng-repeat when using a SoundCloud playlist. Pass the $index to the playPause() method to trigger playback on a per-track basis. Determine which track is currently playing with player.playing === track.src.
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="track in tracks">
<button
ng-click="playPause($index)"
ng-class="{'active': player.playing === track.src}">
{{track.user.username}} - {{track.title}}
</button>
</li>
</ul>To load the most recent tracks from a given user, use the tracks endpoint. Use ng-repeat to iterate over the tracks array.
<div plangular="http://soundcloud.com/jxnblk/tracks">
</div>To load the most recent likes from a given user, use the likes endpoint.
<div plangular="http://soundcloud.com/jxnblk/likes">
</div>To skip to the next and previous track in a playlist or array of tracks, use the previous() and next() methods.
<button ng-click="previous()">Previous</button>
<button ng-click="next()">Next</button>See more examples and starter templates in docs/examples

According to the SoundCloud API terms you must:
- Credit the user as the creator of the content
- Credit SoundCloud as the source
- Include a link to the sound on SoundCloud (i.e. a link using
track.permalink_url)

SoundCloud provides an option for users to prevent streaming to third-party apps.
If your sound isn't playing check the track.streamable variable.
If it's set to false, there is no way to play that sound with the API.
