You're definitely not alone on that. There's been a lot of work put into a new model for inline comments -- now they're less 'noisy' and definitely create less visual clutter than before. On some tracks, users have completely filled the waveform with comments (looking at you, Skrillex fans...), but we've hopefully come up with something that still won't get in your way even in these extreme cases.

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.

I just reported the bug with the appropriate team - should be an easy fix and resolved shortly. (In theory) it would only show if you already have an account though, so perhaps just try signing in instead of signing up?

Just sign in on next.soundcloud.com and that'll add you to our list.

Hey Kabir, you're in the queue for a beta invite now.
