Specify starting time of track within URL for SoundCloud?

Question

Anyone know if there's a way to generate URL's for SoundCloud tracks that specify a start time for the song? I'm looking for a way to force playback of streams at a certain time in the stream without having to do any processing on my end via the API.

Be attention this solution doesn't help while you work with streaming URL. E.g. api.soundcloud.com/tracks/299331197/stream?client_id={your_id}#t=47s – C

Answer 1

As @bsz correctly noticed, we have released a way of specifying start time on the sound when linking to it, append #t=12s to the sound's URL to start it at 12th second, etc.

If the audio is long enough, you can use (e.g.) #t=2h10m12s.

Sucks that that's the case but at least I know now. Thanks! – Rael

Is there also an option for putting times into comments? – Layout

*If the audio is long enough, you have to use hms (#t=107s will not work, but #t=1m47s will). – Unyielding

Answer 2

They seem to have added a #t option but not sure if you can also give an stop time:

I tried getting this to work in an embedded widget, but it seems to only work when you link to the soundcloud. Anyone had any luck using it in a widget? – Extrinsic

You can also specify a start time one minute or over by appending

If you want a time right on the minute mark (e.g. 3:00), include 0 seconds (0s) in the time code (i.e. 3m0s), or else the start time will be ignored. It does not appear to support a start time over an hour.

Click share and set or pick time

Where do you get that "at ....." time input option? It doesn't seem to be there (at least not anymore?) in Soundcloud's share feature. – Inertia
