It doesn't work anymore. :-( I think SoundCloud must have changed their code and/or policies.
Ah, thanks Marty.

SoundCloud has frustrated us and other forum administrators over the years. What we've noted is some addresses work, some don't. For example, this works below. Can tell you your first code insertion is correct, the second one incorrect. All you have to do (in theory) is insert the web URL between the BB Soundcloud tags. Biggest problem we note: some addresses work, others not, but why... that's the mystery.

Mark, this what you had in mind? This is the address in your opening post. Found some new instructions and this code below is a temporary test, and I'll need to write new instructions and/or check that the new coding won't break everything that works which is pretty much assured. Part of the reason Soundcloud is such a mess for sharing in Forums using BB Code (most of them).
EDIT: this code/example has been deprecated.

Scott, neither of your soundcloud inclusions work for me. When I mouse over the Soundcloud box, the pointer stays the same (does not change shape to indicate a link). And clicking does nothing. I am using Firefox, if it matters.
Assuming it's because you don't have Flash installed. I'm assuming it requires that. If you can't see the big MP3 player at the top of this page then that's the issue.

Ah. That was it Scott. Now your two links work.
Aha... Believe we've successfully back-hacked this to get it to work. Note Mark's opening coding was not originally working but with the change, now is. Wow, what an... uh, amazing version of this song we've chosen for a test.

So the coding for this simply uses the SoundCloud web address (commonly called a URL) between the soundcloud BB Code tags as follows:

Perfect! Thanks Scott et al.

Six years on, is there a change to how we do this now? I'm new to Soundcloud and would like to embed one of my tracks in a forum post here, but I'm not seeing the Soundcloud tags that are mentioned above, just Insert image and Inset video. The Soundcloud help page talks about using a Wordpress code, but is there a simpler way? Many thanks for any help!

Excellent, Keith, I missed the Advanced part.
I'll give it a try. Many thanks!
Worked!
