It seems the card used for the soundcloud remote content is different than that for the local content so it doesn't present the play button.
The entire presentation in the music scope is limited though since only two entries are shown and they are not seemingly prioritized in any way nor are they customizable by the user

I understand that the card type used in the soundcloud scope does not support inline playback just yet, so we should either add that to the card (in unity8), or we should make the scope use the right card type.
I'm adding pawel for further comments.

That's correct. The card used by soundcloud scope doesn't support playback controls. Looking at the wireframes of Music design, the proposed solution is to use the same soundcards as local music (a change in soundcloud scope in such case). I'm not sure if this is still desired, asking for design clarification.

Alternatively, the card used by soundcloud would need to be enhanced to support audio content (a change in soundcloud scope + unity8).

Marking invalid for unity-scopes-shell, it's not affected by any of this.

Setting as incomplete in unity8 until UX decides which cards if they want to change the cards used for soundcloud (which we don't control in unity8 either but maybe needs some changes in our side)

I can play a soundcloud track from within the scope on the current rc image (frieza r151).
