Soundcloud widgets…rock!

January 15th, 2010


I’m sure you have heard of SoundCloud by now. Its the perfect music sharing service without the “Eye Patch”.

This video explains SoundCloud perfectly. (I love her voice!)

SoundCloud: The Tour from SoundCloud on Vimeo.

SoundCloud has some pretty cool widgets available.

Just like the name. It is a bare bones, playable music link. There are also options available to “short code” add this to WordPress.


This widget is more suited to the blog sidebar. The widget offers links to info, sharing and ability to purchase tracks. There are volume controls and simple song stats as well.

This here is the showcase of the SoundCloud widgets. All the features of the “Expressionist” widget above, plus the ability to comment at any point on the track, right in the widget. I put an image in place, but I am also putting the live widget below so you can try it out and see.

With the earthquake disaster in Haiti comes a huge outpouring of support from all corners of the globe. Twitter, Facebook and others are being used to share stories and spread the latest information.

There are now widgets which you can add to your website to show your support for the people of Haiti and the ongoing relief efforts.

Compassion International in conjunction with Sprout Builder, have come up with three tasteful widgets that appear to display a small bit of information regarding the current situation in Haiti. There is also a link to a donation page at Compassion International. Also included in the widget is the information needed to donate via SMS text message.

Here is a live version of the widget.

The other two widgets appear below.
