How to access Soundcloud JSON data - json

Question

I'm experimenting with the soundcloud API and try to extract all playlist titles from my JSON object, to make a list with references. Actually I don't have many experience with JSON and therefore I just can't manage to call any variable form the decoded JSON array...
http://api.soundcloud.com/users/55607614/playlists.json?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
I already did take a look on the structure via http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/ but it didn't really help me out...
$json = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://api.soundcloud.com/users/55607614/playlists.json?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID"));
echo $json[??][??]...;
Any ideas? Thanks!
