Pretty cool. Had a tough time getting it to work in Chrome with "right-click-to-play-flash", but finally got it running by whitelisting your domain. Just clicking the "run all plugins this time" didn't work.

Edit: The light-bulb icon didn't make much sense at first (fullscreen mode), looks like it's for toggling the sidebar in non-fullscreen-mode only. Maybe hide it in fullscreen?

flash? There should be no flash on the site, it's an HTML5 video. Very strange..., never heard of this issue before. If you can provide more details that'd be great, but no worries if not.

Light bulb actually = "dark mode", it hides everything else on the page. I intentionally left it ambiguous to see if people would curiously click on it :)

Thanks for checking it out!

i think soundcloud requires flash for "anti piracy purposes", the page doesn't actually show the let's go button until you load flash.

The webpage loads at least "http://connect.soundcloud.com/soundmanager2/soundmanager2_fl... in chrome osx, and it seems that with right-click-to-play-flash this prevents the "let's go" button from appearing, even after clicking "run all plugins this time".

Hhmm, thanks a ton for that info. Not sure yet if there's anything I can do about this, but I will definitely look into it.

The audio is flash for me too http://connect.soundcloud.com/soundmanager2/soundmanager2_fl... (Firefox Linux)

The funny thing is that the video is mp4 but on Firefox with NoScript it shows the same kind of placeholder as Flash does (when allowing instagram.com but not cdninstagram.com). My first reaction was "wow, Flash?!" And I missed the flash in the audio player.
