Specify starting time of track within URL for SoundCloud?

Tags:

soundcloud

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.

Can you put timestamps on SoundCloud?

You can append #t={hours}:{minutes}:{seconds} to the SoundCloud URL.

How do I change the length of a track on SoundCloud?

If you're on a Android device, you can edit your track description via the SoundCloud app. Just click on the track, go to the edit section and make the changes you want.

How do I get a SoundCloud track link?

You can get the secret link for your track by clicking the 'Share' button below its waveform. Secret links have tokens (some extra numbers that make your link unique, unsearchable and unguessable) at the end of your track's URL, so anyone with the secret link will be able to listen to your track.

Is there a widget for SoundCloud?

But sometimes you want to take people straight to your own website and do your own private promo there. Well you can do this with SoundCloud too by using our secret widget feature. This allows you to keep your tracks totally private on SoundCloud but still grab a player widget that you can embed on your own promo page.

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.

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