I am trying to build a Cordova application in which users will post the links to tracks on Soundcloud. Using their API, I ll need to play the track on my custom music player on the application.
There are some points I cant understand from the API -
Will the end user need to authenticate to listen to the tracks?
The API supports playing the track on the html5 audio element?
Can I play any other user's track if I have its link?
The end user need not authenticate.
Yes it supports html5 audio element.
Yes if the track is available to the public.

Is there possible to download music from PC/internet into Deezer via API? I've a quick look to their doc but didn't found how to do that. If not, can someone suggest a social music network with music upload API?
Nothing is provided for now to upload music into Deezer through the API, that's why there is no documentation. You have to pass through the website, sorry.
I want to embed a facebook video in a webapp but do something when it's over.
Similarly to the YouTube API Player, is there any 'complete' event I can listen to on embedded FB videos?
One solution/workaround a friend reminded me of is embedding the mp4 in jwplayer and hooking into the player's events API.
Sounds like it might work, but I would rather use a better solution is there is one.
My application isn't going to be revolved around soundcloud users, I will be using it for its nice api that is provided to stream audio. I also want to use the javascript upload feature but that seems to be out of the question too.
The record widget should be able to upload the audio to your server so that you can upload the audio not as an individual user.
I still haven't been able to get my app to work without using their authentication window.
Any help would be appreciated.
Nearly everything you do with the SoundCloud API must be done on behalf of a SoundCloud account. You can only use the SoundCloud API to stream content from or upload content to a SoundCloud account.
If you'd like to have SoundCloud functionality in your app, I'd recommend allowing users to connect their SoundCloud accounts.
"Authenticating without the SoundCloud Connect Screen", from the API docs: http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/guide#user-credentials
With this method you can log in as a user in the code. Since every app must be registered to a user anyway, you can make a new username to register the app, and log in with that one.
How can one achieve
User listening to {SONG_TITLE} by {ARTIST_NAME}
start here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/music/bridge/
Facebook Music bridge
Goal:
Enable play buttons on feed stories on Facebook.com that can play and pause tracks and indicate which is playing.
Mechanism:
The client loads part of the Facebook JS SDK which provides an interface for FB to send play and pause commands to the client, and allows the client to send status updates back to Facebook.
I want to develop a carrom game.
I don't want to integrate this game in facebook. but when one of the players playing the game the others must able to see that changes on their own computer.
This can be done via facebook(means players must log in to facebook). So is there any facebook_erlang api to send events to other players?
Using the Facebook API you can build an application. Doesn't have to be Erlang. If you want to build an application where players can send messages you can do that within your Facebook application, which can be build using Erlang.
