Support for SoundCloud tracks marked as "Private"

The music support is a great feature in roll20, and I would greatly appreciate it getting a bit more love. Since I occasionally put together tracks for my group to use but wouldn't necessarily want those to be available publicly, it would be great if there was some way I could access my own soundcloud account through roll20 and use tracks I have marked as private.
This would be good.
That would be lovely, honestly.  Perhaps some way to link your roll20 account with your soundcloud account?  Not sure how easy that would be or what sort of hoop jumping it would entail.

Well, SoundCloud has a particular set of things available for the Roll20 team to work with. SoundCloud would have to make accessing private accounts/songs via their widgets available if it isn't already.

It might be possible to play private sounds from soundcloud without Roll20 having to know how to log in as you.  I uploaded something and made it private.  Then on the screen for the sound there is a secret link.  This is sort of like how private works with Youtube.  A private video on Youtube no one can ever find through a search, but if you give them the link they can play it.  So I can play the sound with the secret link when I'm not logged in to sound cloud.  So then I went to a campaign in Roll20 and searched for my sound using the secret link.  Roll20 found the sound and even displays it properly, name and waveform.  But no sounds come out.  You can even add it to your jukebox, but it still doesn't play.  So it might just be some small tweak a Roll20 dev would have to do?

Konrad, could you post a bug report regarding that usage of Soundcloud? It might qualify as a bug. Admitedly, the bug might be the fact it found it at all rather than being unable to play it. But, perhaps it can be made to work if it is a bug. :) - Gauss
