  • 0

In the past the widget HTML5 player API was not accepting sound clean friendly URLs,
only with a track ID.

But now when I try it, it seems that it does works fine, but I don’t see it mentioned anywhere in the official blog or something.

So my question is: is it safe to use it please?

Using:
http://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http://soundcloud.com/user-name/track-name
Instead of:
http://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/13692671

And also if you got any status of fixing the serious bug where the events are not firing, I will love to know please.

    The events should be all firing properly now.

    Yes, you can use friendly URLs, however, as we have to resolve them on our side, initial load of the widget will be a tad slower. So for the faster loading it is still recommended to use API URLs.
