SoundCloud [ms] app

[picklemonkey]

I didn't realize this but SoundCloud has an app platform similar to Facebook. I'm trying to think of different ways that writing a [ms] SoundCloud app would benefit us. Anybody have any ideas?

One idea is an app that links your [ms] profile and SoundCloud profiles together, constantly keeping them in sync--if you subscribe to an artist in DJDB, it automatically follows the artist on SoundCloud for you. Or vice versa, where if you follow an artist on SoundCloud, it automatically subscribes you to them in the [ms] DJDB.

That would be the best feature for an MS Soundcloud app, no doubt!

How about a soundcloud Dropbox linked to each profile? And is there any way that under the "share" option for each track/mix, you could put a sort of "share to MS" option that would immediately create a thread over here?

What's the latest with this. I know I am interested in what my friends on MS are following on soundcloud and vice versa.

I'm taking a very similar approach as I did with my Facebook events sync:

I'm already able to query SoundCloud for a DJ's tracks. I need to continue storing the data locally and integrating it with DJDB data. My end goal (within 1 month) will be [ms] alerting us in our subscriptions of all new SoundCloud uploads for the artists that we're subscribed to

What does this API offer in terms of functionality exactly? I haven't heard of this before but interesting this is available.

It's primarily for getting their data, but they also have limited data change APIs. When I combine it with my [ms] scripts I can start to keep things synced together and have a seemless, automatic flow of data between sites. Facebook, Twtter, SoundCloud, and MySpace all have an API that lets you take their data and use it for your own purposes

Sounds complicated, but that is going to be great

Re: SoundCloud [ms] app

Just out of curiosity I noticed there is a soundcloud option for posting soundcloud links in some parts of this forum, but not others (so we have to type [soundcloud link [/soundcloud out, is that on purpose?

Re: SoundCloud [ms] app

I'm almost done with the integration to SoundCloud

It's mostly working here, but I still have a few changes to make. MercuryServer now knows about all updates for all DJDB artists on SoundCloud!

As much as i agree and admire what this will do but in theory, will it not cause the P&R section to suffer if people are getting the sets directly from soundcloud. It is what you do i suppose when someone posts a link from soundcloud but it may take some importance away from P&R. Might not be a big deal and as i said, it is a great idea but for me...P&R has been the biggest and best part of [ms].
