DavidDavid Getting creative with Facebook, @DirtySecretz show us how Comments

SoundCloud users and DJ/production duo Dirty Secretz just tweeted a link to their Facebook page where they managed to do a really nice integration between Facebook and SoundCloud that we’d like to share with you. This is the landing page of Dirty Secretz’ artist page on Facebook:

Facebook | Dirty Secretz

Clicking on “Check out our Tracks” will redirect you to the Tracks tab in the top menu where they have embedded their set. Also very nice, instead of simply choosing auto-play, they have a prominent button in the center that will start playing the tracks when clicking Play:

They’ve also done this for the Remix tab:

Google Chrome

The best part: they’re sharing with us and you how they made it so you can go ahead and create something similar. For you tech-heads out there, install the Facebook Static FBML app, then follow the instructions posted here and add the link to the .swf from the embed code you want to add. If you need help, send them a shout via Twitter head over here to get the full instructions. Nice!

Thanks, guys! Very beautiful.

DavidDavid New feature: Share user’s latest tracks Comments

We’ve just released a little new feature that we think is pretty nice.

When you look at a user’s profile you’ll see that we added a new ‘Share’ button. This will allow you to share this user’s latest tracks in chronological order (newest tracks on top) in our flash player widget.

Forss - Sets - SoundCloud

And here is how this will look like when embedded to another site (in this case, that’s my blog but you can also embed it to the sidebar of your blog or any of your profiles or sites that allow you to add html codes).

One more little thing: you can now easily share a user’s URL (http://soundcloud.com/forss) to Facebook. Just add it to the “What’s on your mind?” field and it will post the player with the latest tracks to your Facebook stream. Have a look:

EricEric Weekend feature: Share SoundCloud tracks on MySpace Comments

We just launched a tiny but very useful feature on SoundCloud for the weekend. If you click the Share-button for any track you can now post it complete with the SoundCloud widget to MySpace in about two clicks. Simply click the “Share on MySpace”-link and select where you’d like to post it on MySpace (Your blog, About Me, etc) and click post. Kazam, the track is now on MySpace!
