Soundcloud player gadget for Google wave lets you play music from soundcloud.com. Get the link of a track from Soundcloud, put it in the URL text box & click “Set url”. That’s it, Soundcloud player starts playing the track which you have selected. User can also enter a user profile URL or a group URL also & in this case all the tracks on that page gets converted into a playlist. One really good feature which should have been there in this gadget is Co-Creating a playlist with individual track links. Which can let all users in a wave to add tracks & create a playlist. Hoping to see that feature in next update.
