Is there a way to embed Soundcloud-tracks here at VI? 8dio has done it a couple of times as far as I remember. I don´t particularly like having to download tracks in order to hear them myself - embedding is a great way to share IMO.
forum code:

There should be an easier and simpler way of doing this given this is a music forum and a lot of posts reference Sound Cloud tracks.
sorry I must be a little dense can you tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

But the forum - that's us - is at the mercy of the forum software. And the forum software is at the mercy of the various standards (nope, can't say that work with a straight face) that exist in the world wide web.
Here's the weird thing, though. On my computer, at least, in the examples that both you and Frederick give, there is an added space in the second "soundclo ud" between that "o" and "u" that I needed to eliminate. Weird, because I doubt either of you typed it that way. Let me see what it looks like when I past my own working code, minus the start bracket:

Well you are wrong - the forum software, phpBB, that this forum uses is very versatile and can be upgraded. The board administrator can add SoundCloud support to the forum. I would encourage an admin to please take a look at this... <snippity>

Just checking to see if you can change the width with that
