Thanks for your continued contributions :-) I have an issue with this one: the soundcloud plugin currently only imports the user favorites (this can probably be easily extended to uploaded tracks as well). For favorites, I want the entry to be in my stream at the date/time when I favorited it, not when the track got uploaded (could have been years ago). So, your fix would be the correct behavior for user uploaded tracks, but I don't like this behavior for favorites. What do you think? What use case did you have in mind? |

I agree. My next move will be to import our own tracks but I'll try to get the fav' date for favs before. |

Hewww, it doesn't seem to be possible atm: http://stackoverflow.com/a/20856588/2550448 . I've send a mail to the Soundcloud's API guys. I'll see if I can get a reply about this feature. |

Sure! Aboute the date, I don't think it is too much an issue. My update cron job runs every five minutes. So, worst case is I'm off 5 minutes :-) The issue is when importing the feed the first time. So, one solution would be:

This reverts commit 921a5f9. Revert created_at date handling for SoundClound favorites imported tracks because SoundCloud API doesn't provide the date for favorite action at the moment. Tracks were imported with it creation date on SoundCloud and not with the user favorite action date.
