Doh! Was too eager to help. Won't try again. I'd better leave it to the experts. :-)

Neither iFrames, nor plugins are allowed on WordPress.com blogs.

I just went to HTML edit mode (instead of Visual) and inserted the code provided including the <iframe tags.

Obviously had to delete the existing soundcloud shortcodes as they still call the Flash widget.

On your Soundcloud Set or Track Go to Share > Customise Player > HTML5

Get the code > Insert to post (HTML mode) > Save > Voilà!

We* want a platform that allows us to focus on content and presentation, without having to worry about the many combinations of hardware and software being used to view our blogs.

* This is one of the few times I feel justified in using "we" to denote the wishes of many WP.com bloggers. My usual posting mode is "This what I think, many others consider it crazy."

I am facing the unfortunate task of transfering my wordpress.com site to a wordpress.org hosted site -

    unless
there is a chance of HTML5 audio being implemented down the road. I would rather not go through the hassle of the transfer, but I don't know if I have much of a choice as I depend on audio playback for my career.

The only thing at WordPress.com that utilizes HTML5 right now are the various video embeds (when an HTML5 option is available from the source), including VideoPress.

More generally, I wonder how many of the shortcodes assume that Flash is available. That assumption isn't as sound as it used to be.

I'll see what we can do about switching over our code to their HTML5 version.

Here's the code:-

<iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="http://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F24645957&auto_play=false&show_artwork=true&color=474747"></iframe>

I suspect this is not support yet.

The shortcode, as the OP knows, currently fires up the Flash-based player - or rather, on iOS, it doesn't... I hope that someone at WordPress.com and/or SoundCloud will address this problem (since I don't have any hope that anyone at Apple will).
