Soundcloud API in Max

In this patch, Max uses the Soundcloud API to find available tracks for a user and then stream or download one of the tracks.

Features:
  • Resolve the user-id for a given Soundcloud user name – in this case “dannyzic”
  • Process the JSON response to get a track list
  • Request the first track as either a download or streaming file
  • Play the track in Max using [jit.qt.movie]

The Soundcloud API reference provides examples using curl.
