The page structure with the audio timeline serving as a navigation cue to the content below is great.

Could someone point me to how to make the audio image waveform reference the on page anchors? I scanned the developer page and couldn't see where to start.

Hey James, there's no pre-packaged system to do this, but you do have some options: you could use the widget API http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/html5-widget

There's no special insider trickery happening on that page: it's all using the public API to load the sound and then just listening to 'time' events while the track plays to trigger scroll actions.
