Examples:

some_user = sc_client.User.find('some_user')

# gets 50 (Soundcloud API limit) tracks from some_user
some_user_tracks = some_user.tracks

# gets the latest song from some_user_tracks
first_song = some_user_tracks.first

# prints 50 (Soundcloud API limit) comments of first_song with username, timestamp (can be nil) and comment body
first_song.comments.each do |comment| 
  if comment.timestamp.nil?
    timestamp = ""
  else
    timestamp = "@#{comment.timestamp/1000}"
  end
  p "#{comment.user.username} #{timestamp}: #{comment.body}"
end

# downloads the original track file (track.downloadable must be true)
# (the open call requires the 'open-uri' gem)
downloaded_file = open first_song.download_url

# gets 50 (Soundcloud API limit) tracks with a BPM <= 100    
slow_tracks  = sc_client.Track.find(:all, :params => { "bpm[to]" => "100"} )

# create a new Track on Soundcloud with some_sound_file.mp3 as asset data    
new_track = sc_client.Track.new
new_track.title = 'New Track'
new_track.sharing = 'private'
new_track.asset_data = File.new('some_sound_file.wav')
new_track.save

# gives some_user permission to access the new_track    
new_track.permissions << some_user
new_track.permissions.save
