I have just spoken with someone on the help team, they said it was because of the file format soundcloud uses. She is going to tell the development team who will hopefully come up with a fix.
wow, the new BB OS7 phones play soundcloud files, and i am pretty sure i was on the actual site and not the mobile site...but i will verify this later tonight...
i managed to get soundcloud to playonce on my pb. I tapped vigerously for 10mins,no exageration, and it was a final swipe across the play button that initiated play, skipped alot. if possible just download track. youtube2mp3 works wonders...
edit.. dont we have an app for that??? Im sure there was an app that used soundcloud feeds?
tried regular soundcloud page on Bold 9900 again last night and it always plays...sounds good on the phone's speakers too...hope this works easily in the near future...

Mielophone can use soundcloud feeds (you have to tell it to after download though as RIM wouldn't allow the developer to include the capability)...
SoundCloud, both the normal SoundCloud and the SoundCloud Mobile sites work great in my 9930's browser. However, it's strange that they don't work on my Playbook's. I've only had luck with the mobile site, and even then it's intermittent... Funny how my phone has a better browser than my tablet.
I use soundcloud all of the time and love having my various devices being able to directly record and send to soundcloud for quick ideas, not to mention each app is specficially designed for the size and UI of the device. Unfortunately I don't see any dedicated app coming to the playbook.
Was wondering if anyone has gotten the soundcloud player to actually work on the Playbook browser?
The website loads fine but clicking play doesn't do anything...
I bought a Playbook last week and had the same problem. While logged in to a soundcloud account, I went to Settings for my page, then Extra, and found a little box under Experimental Features that allows you to check mark a box to use HTML 5 Audio which I did and now songs are playing for me so far using the regular site in the Playbook browser. I don't know squat about this stuff and was just impatiently messing around while waiting for the new OS upgrade. Experimental, try at your own risk, I s'pose.
Lucky for you all, I've been hard at work on a Souncloud app for the playbook. I'm looking for a release date before June 22nd. So far it is looking quite nice, and I hope you guys will enjoy it using it! I'll make sure to post updates on a thread here on CB.
