Well the URLs are provided by SoundCloud and jQuery so there's nothing that I can do (other than hosting it myself). Yeah I just hope no one misuses it. Yes.

Apparently SC doesn't like it and for some reason the app is very slow after dropping the scheme.

Chiming in with shameless me too self promotion...

I have a similar feature on http://tuned.io/ - it's a soundcloud search with autocomplete; you can play any of the search results instantly, etc.

The music makes for good coding background.

i love it but it would be cooler with a full screen UI, there was a soundcloud api hack that would play people's loved/favorited tracks that kind of did that..

I don't think it would be very hard to do that. I implemented the streaming in tag, which means I'm free to implement the UI myself. It's on the "audio" branch of my code.

awesome, i'll check it out.
