Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

SoundCloud is the "the world's largest community of sound creators."
To import media from SoundCloud, click the import icon on your Scalar header bar, scroll down to "Other Archives" and select "SoundCloud". The SoundCloud Importer will appear, with an option to perform a search of the service.
Once search results are returned, you can preview individual files by clicking their "Preview" links on the right, or select one or more audio files to import by clicking their associated checkboxes. Then, clicking the "Import selected media" button at the bottom will bring the media's metadata into Scalar.
