Is there any chance of getting the source for Scup? I want to build a more specialised app that operates in a similar way, but have not been able to find the information I need.

Sandbox is a complete SoundCloud system for testing purposes only. So you have to register your app there separately:
http://sandbox-soundcloud.com/you/apps/new

And you will get a different consumer key/secret code for that server, too. It’s a bit confusing first, I know ;)

Thanks for the update, it explains a lot. I’ve registered my application, but I still can’t connect to the Sandbox server, even with the consumer key and consumer secret supplied. Do I need to register my application on the sandbox as well? I’m not quite sure the difference between http://www.soundcloud.com and http://sandbox-soundcloud.com/ – can you clear it up?

Thanks.

Just found out that SoundCloud has rolled out a new authentication policy on their sandbox-server on friday. They’re not accepting calls to public resources without a consumer key anymore. The production server still works without a key though. So if you change your client to use the production server, everything should be fine. Just set the fourth argument to false:
new SoundcloudClient(”",”",null,false);

But to be ready when they roll this out on the live system, you should register your app now and get a consumer key. Read more about it here:

Thanks for pointing this out! I’ll update the post now.

The URL works fine, it brings up the correct XML page. I get the following error in flash:

http://api.sandbox-soundcloud.com/users/***/tracks.xml?oauth_consumer_key=&oauth_nonce=***&oauth_signature=***&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1274096951

NB – I’m not sure how important the information is in that URL so just to be certain I starred it out. When I attempt to go that URL I get an XML page that says 401-Unauthorized.

Any ideas what might be going wrong?

@Sam
check if you get a valid response when you copy the URL in your browser address bar, to make sure that you use the correct URL
e.g. http://soundcloud.com/users/yourUserName/tracks
If your browser displays a blank page, check the source code of the page because the browser might not display XML code.
If that works but you still get the error in Flash, please post your code here or send it to me via email (dori@nroy.de)

I’m trying to just use the public method to grab some tracks from my user account. So I’m not using any authorisation.

I’m using essentially the same code snippet as the one you provided above, however I am getting a Error #2032: Stream Error. Can you advise as to why this might be happening?

I don’t write anything to the ID3-tags. The downloadable file is not changed in Scup and not by SoundCloud either.

But writing the common fields to the ID3-tags is a good idea! I already thought about reading existing ID3-tags to pre-fill the fields in Scup.

I think I’ll set up a uservoice forum for Scup so you can post feature requests and bugs easily and visible to everybody else. Hope to find some time for that soon.

Just curious: if I upload a bare (id-tagless) mp3 with this one, set all details with Scup and then clear it as a download, will the user get a copy with all those settings embedded?

It looks great, by the way!
