Custom Player based on the known and loved SoundCloud player

[benji++]

Well, I would have expected that the "Standard Skin" would be like the
one that gets used on an embed (that was what I was wanting anyway)
but of course it's entirely different. I want to make a custom skin
based on the good old SoundCloud player without reinventing the wheel
if I could. Is there somewhere I can easily get the CSS for that?

Hi,

if you want full freedom, you can go with the SoundCloud Custom Player
[1]. As far as I know our JS Widget [2] is not customizable.

Hi Johan,

Thank you for your response.  Maybe I wasn't clear in my original post, but I don't think this answers my question.  I'm already working with the SoundCloud Custom Player and JS Widget -- my question was premised on that.  The Custom Player has four example skins, right?  Standard Skin, Artwork Skin, Minimal Skin, and Red Skin.  However, none of these actually look like the SoundCloud Player that we're used to seeing on soundcloud.com or our embeds.

What I'm wanting to do is create a custom player that looks very similar to the flash player that appears in an embed, but with some different functionality.  But since none of the example skins look like that, I will have to recreate the images and css myself (and possibly some javascript), which seems like a waste of time.  So does there already exist an HTML/CSS/JS skin that looks and functions like the flash embed that I could download and customize?

Otherwise I will have to grab the images and CSS from the players on soundcloud.com and try to construct something from there.  But they don't look and function exactly like the embed players.  It would save some time if there's already a skin like the embeds that I could download.

I'm afraid such skin does not exist yet.

OK, thanks for confirming anyway, Johan.

All the best,
