Soundcloud, bandcamp embeds
So am I allowed to post soundcloud, etc embeds here? I know that soundcloud embeds work for PMing, and I'm guessing they'd work here too.
I'm assuming it would be fine if they were sequestered to the audio-only channel, but it becomes a bit of an issue if I post, say, this:
<span>Liquido ambient mixes - Cinematic Soundscapes, November 2011 by liquido</span>
That could be tagged electronica, music, audio, but then you'd have non video embeds outside of the audio channel.
Thoughts? Sorry if I'm not being clear.
EDIT: Interesting. While they appear to work via PM, I can't post an embed here.
And it just occurred to me I probably couldn't submit a SC embed anyway. So I am changing the topic of this a bit:
Should SC, BC embeds be allowed here?

darkrowanHuh, per user level list you should be able to post them (just not in talk posts).
From the horse's mouth (aka FAQ)
Boise_LibIs this the way they would show up? (I cut down the code a little bit)
<object height="81" width="100%"><embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F27621467&color=000000&show_comments=true&quo

carnevalThat is indeed how they would look. I guess the issue is really: should they be allowed?
I guess the time I got it to work was by accident!
Soundcloud embeds are far from a video embed; they aren't even audio with a static image. I think (personally) it should be fine, but that's just me.
I haven't attempted to submit such an embed, so I have no idea whether it would be rejected as an invalid embed or not.
Good job figuring out how to correctly embed them, though
