Soundcloud Wordpress Plugin passing database value into Shortcode

I'm using the SoundCloud plugin for Wordpress. The shortcode format they recommend using is: [soundcloud]http://soundcloud.com/forss/flickermood[/soundcloud]

I've also searched and found that this format can be used as well: [soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/25121853" params="auto_play=false&hide_related=false&visual=true" width="100%" height="450" iframe="true" /]

Basically my question is how would I pass a database value into the url section of this shortcode. I've used shortcodes for other plugins before which involve the use of key="xxx", but the Soundcloud shortcode seems to need the url="xxx" part.

I'm sorry if this is unclear, it's my first attempt at getting help on stackoverflow.

Many Thanks,

Paul

If you want to do it from the wordpress post editor, you will first have to install "Allow PHP in Posts and Pages" plugin. As you already have the value in your post_meta table, All you have to do in your editor is something like.

[php] echo get_post_meta( $post_id, 'soundcloudlink', TRUE );[/php]

Replace $post_id with the id of your post.
