I'm currently updating a web page that provides some podcasts. The current site uses the official Soundcloud widget to display the podcasts while the new one is supposed to have a custom player.
As the soundcloud API is pretty lacking and they have closed registration of new apps I am unsure how to retrieve the waveform data and audio without using the widget.
I was wondering if there are other cloud services that provides this service or if there is a potential workaround for the soundcloud issue?
I tried implementing the official widget and simply hiding it with CSS and adding custom controls, but this does not give you access to the waveform data. Other than that I am unsure how to progress with this.
