  if($song->artwork_url != null) {
      $song_artwork = $song->artwork_url;
  }
  else {
      $song_artwork = 'img/no_art.png';
  }

By default soundcloud pulls -large (which is 100x100)

How do i make it pull (t500x500) so i can have a higher res image?

Just replace large.jpg by t500x500.jpg in the filename, like so: 

  $song_artwork = str_replace('large.jpg', 't500x500.jpg', $song->artwork_url);

In fact, they support a number of different formats for different requests: 

t500x500:     500px×500px
crop:         400px×400px
t300x300:     300px×300px
large:        100px×100px  (default)
t67x67:       67px×67px    (only on artworks)
badge:        47px×47px
small:        32px×32px
tiny:         20px×20px    (on artworks)
tiny:         18px×18px    (on avatars)
mini:         16px×16px
original:     originally uploaded image

I found the documentation in the Soundcloud API reference, search for artwork_url.

    Just be aware that for some tracks, `original` exists but `t500x500` doesn't, for some the opposite. It's a total mess. – Dan Abramov Nov 05 '14 at 15:08

    I wrote an [express app](http://stackoverflow.com/a/26806356/458193) that redirects to largest non-404 version of the image. – Dan Abramov Nov 07 '14 at 17:05

For client side a simple JS .replace() will do the job

SC.get("/users/984878/tracks", {limit: 10}, function(tracks){

$.each(tracks, function(index,track){

lrgart = track.artwork_url;
lrgart = lrgart.replace('-large', '-t500x500');

});

@likeitlikeit's answer worked for me, however I had to change the file extension for the 'original' size to png even though the smaller images were jpg, so try that if your first attempt is not found
