Anybody else having trouble with SC ?
I noticed a few months ago I was having trouble logging into my older account, got a weird response back from SC CS.
Today I uploaded a track to share but when I copy the url only 18 seconds of the track is available.
Is SC truncated shared files, anybody know what is going on ?
Thx!

I have not noticed anything different in the last couple months. I have the regular free account - though I temporarily tried the 'Pro' during this period for 2 weeks

I think I had posted a compromised file.

Maybe someday SoundCloud will go back to not being 85% bots and it will be useful again.

Ah Bots, As soon as you download something - some 'person' says they like you're piece - and are now following you - of course it's nonsense.
I find SoundCloud useful to send links of music to friends.

I use it for sharing tracks but I keep everything private.

Ah Bots, As soon as you download something - some 'person' says they like you're piece - and are now following you - of course it's nonsense. That does happen on occasion, but not always. It didn't happen with the last three or four public tracks I uploaded, so they might be getting better at rooting out bad actors. What's getting worse are the ads. You don't get them when the page is embedded in a post. You only seem to get them when you go directly to a page, but you have to listen to the entire ad ..and I'll bet they're louder. I use SC mostly for just sharing with a few friends and songwriter groups I belong to. The loss of fidelity acceptable for my purposes. |

At this point its basically DropBox for music. Which is a shame because the original idea was to build an online community but that got pretty much ruined by bots, scams, and ads.
