Thanks. If I go to WP manage plugins, I only see three options. Not including soundcloud. If I search for plugins inside WP, I don't see SC. Form what you say, I assume it's godaddy's problem. The issue doesn't turn up in their technical forums. I am much more interested in soundcloud than godaddy or wordpress but need a sc enabled blogging platform. Are you allowed to make recommendations?

Thanks! sc support has been responsive and helpful.

I am vexed because godaddy has promoted WP. – mfritter, on November 05, 2009 14:15

David,

Do you host your own cloud? I assume transcoding these things is processor intensive. Now I'm uploading a straight mp3, so I'm not sure why it needs to be "transcoded" -- or even that the means in this context. It would be interesting to know what value is added.

Perhaps you could add a "low-fi" option and bypass this step.

Well, I just up-loaded, and closed the browser and came back some hours later and it was done - as per David's suggestion above. I assume the problem is with general load on their servers and not with any specific file I'm uploading. We'll see. – mfritter, on November 03, 2009 22:46

Ok, I'm a new user and am having the "waveform is hung/stuck whatever" problem(s). The file in question is pretty small -- 12.7 megs.

Here's my question: if I close the browser page showing the waveform generation message does the waveform generation/transcoding continue or do I have to keep the browser open to the page?

Couldn't tell from the comments on this thread, but I may have missed it.

Thanks!
