Soundcloud api full length track


I have the following question, which I didn't find answer to on soundcloud website or forum.

My plan is to use Soundcloud Javascript SDK to control custom player on a website and play sounds by url. I have looked at documentation and except 15 000 quota limit didn't read about any other restrictions.

Questions is "What will user hear" when playing sounds from my website? Is user going to hear full track/sound or 30 sec preview only? Where can I get this information from?

Here is screenshot from SoundCloud website: enter image description here Thanks in advance for any help provided.


Solution

  • Any track that has the property streamable = true can be streamed in full length using the api. The streamable property is set by the uploader with the 'enable app playback' option. This option is on by default, so most tracks are streamable.
