    Hello,

    I want to use the player with Soundcloud tracks. Following https://sonaar.io/docs/supported-audio-streaming-providers/ - what is the difference between Soundcloud music and Soundcloud podcast as I have an account and settings on SoundCloud without choosing one of them? Also, is it possible to add a download button and download the audio directly from Soundcloud, I don't find where from I can take the direct link to the file to insert it to the CTA?

    Thank you

    Spotify and SoundCloud licensing agreements to restrict the playback of its tracks on other audio players, including third-party web players like MP3 Audio Player Pro.

    They want to maintain control over the user experience and ensure the consistency of their brand, which is why they require users to access their music only through their branded player and apps.

    If you want to share music on your website, you can create an MP3 audio player, upload tracks in MP3 format, and add a call-to-action button to encourage listeners to follow you on this platform. This way, they can access your full playlist on the app and stream your audio from there.

    The difference with SoundCloud PODCAST, is that any podcast feed must be public (so you can listen a podcast in your favorite player). Its why it works with Soundcloud podcast platform, but not with Soundcloud Music.

    It's possible to add download button, but its not possible to download the audio directly from Soundcloud

    To add a download button, edit your playlist and see here: https://drops.sonaar.io/i/dyUHqJ
