SoundCloud Invasion!

I'm sure by now everyone has heard about my switch to SoundCloud, but if not, consider yourself in the know. Today I reached another one of the milestones by replacing my website players with set and track widgets from SoundCloud. There is an unfortunate side effect of slightly slower load times for these plugins, but their ease of use, both from the user side and the admin side, is worth every additional second.

A couple of the huge user benefits are tracking controls and download access. The tracking controls will come in handy for anyone that needs to rewind to listen closer, or to fast forward to a specific spot. Download access will not be available for all tracks. For those which are downloadable, the player will show a download button by the track name for set widgets, or on the border for single track widgets.

Over the next couple weeks I will be porting more tracks over to SoundCloud, most of which were probably overlooked in their previous locations. I will be making occasional publishes to Facebook and Twitter regarding new uploads, so be on the lookout for tracks you may have previously missed.
