Nice preview, but their JavaScript is messed up. I attempted to connect to beta in the Sign Up tab of their pop-up, but the error message for already having an account says, "Sorry, [object Object] is already registered with another account".

#12Could someone point me to how to make the audio image waveform reference the on page anchors? I scanned the developer page and couldn't see where to start.

#13The page structure with the audio timeline serving as a navigation cue to the content below is great. Could someone point me to how to make the audio image waveform reference the on page anchors? I scanned the developer page and couldn't see where to start.
There's no special insider trickery happening on that page: it's all using the public API to load the sound and then just listening to 'time' events while the track plays to trigger scroll actions.

#15Perhaps I am alone in this, but when I play a song I don't like the inline social comments that popup in their player. I wish I could create a cookie that disables them by default.

#17the update seems to bring soundcloud closer to twitter's model of 'social'. i think this is a perfect fit for the site. i sorely miss an equivalent to twitter's lists feature, however. further more i'd like to create playlists in the browser and not just in the macstore app.
/edit: about the 'list' feature i mentioned: it'd be awesome to create lists of artists within which i'd be able to switch between recently liked tracks of these artists (with full waveform-player display) and recently self-released tracks.

You're definitely not alone on that. There's been a lot of work put into a new model for inline comments -- now they're less 'noisy' and definitely create less visual clutter than before. On some tracks, users have completely filled the waveform with comments (looking at you, Skrillex fans...), but we've hopefully come up with something that still won't get in your way even in these extreme cases.
It is beyond me why the current interface still does not have one.
I, like many others, have long installed the greasemonkey script to suppress these idiotic popups. They're even worse than youtube comments. At least the youtube drivel doesn't pop up in your face all the time.
