<h4>Advantages against pasting embed code from soundcloud and other plugins</h4>
<ul>
<li>By changing the main settings in the options, all players on your site using the default settings will change. If green isn’t trendy anymore and purple is the new orange, it won’t be a problem and you will keep your street credibility.</li>
<li>If Soundcloud update their player or release an even cooler new player that let you scratch your track while streaming to snapchat, I will most defenetly update the plugin to use those new features.</li>
<li><strong>Soundcloud is Gold</strong> use a shortcode but the “Soundcloud is Gold” tab will write it for you dynamically as you select parameters, and on top of this it will provide a nice live preview of your player so you know what does what. When done just press the ‘insert soundcloud player’ and it will added to your post just like when you’re adding a photo or gallery.</li>

<h3>RoadMap</h3>
<h4>Priority</h4>
<ul>
<li>Contextual On-boarding to help new users getting to know the plugin</li>
<li>Use your own API key (which mean you’re not dependent of the rate_limit attached to my key )</li>
<li>Advance Settings (change background color and comments color, playcounts, buy link, font, wmode, etc, show/hide styled shortcode, number of tracks per page)</li>
<li>Other soundcloud shortcode conflict fix (jetpack)</li>
<li>Update to the way Settings are handled to be even more inline with WordPress settings API.</li>
<li>Live search while typing a name in the user name field. So if you’re looking for someone it’s kind of easier.</li>
<li>Better UX for the editor: clicking to edit should know if which user and if it’s a track/playlist/favourite</li>
<li>Better UX for the editor: Better visual to actually know what the track is just by looking at it.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Secondary</h4>
<ul>
<li>Seperate playlists into playlist types (ep, album, etc…)</li>
<li>Url attribute for shortcode: easier for people using the shortcode manually.</li>
<li>Trigger live preview when changing Soundcloud user name</li>
<li>Add ‘activities’ to the widget</li>
</ul>
