Soundcloud update

[@kylejscheffler]

It sucks when a platform becomes the defacto standard, and drives out competition leaving you to deal with a feature set and rules you don't necessarily agree with.

That is a shame, since Soundcloud is one of the most convenient ways to listen to music on the go, but it's understandable. The platform isn't exactly optimized on the creator side of things.

[@5mania5]

Not so convenient wıth the ads now unfortunately :/

[@MrTHEFATANDSKINNY]

@@5mania5 I agree. It feels like every two songs (for arguments sake, let's say they are 4 minutes each), there's an unskippable ad that's 2 minutes long

[@Game-BeatX14]

Can you archive all your old music on Bandcamp, maybe some sort of mega-collection album? There's a lot missing there. I'd buy that in a heartbeat to have everything in the highest quality.

Ads on music they don’t have the rights to be making money off of, like his songs since they don’t pay the creators.

Bummer. Is that like...ads on the pages or suddenly a commercial break during the song? Either way, that sucks.

[@speedbird7573]

SoundCloud is the only platform I can actually listen to your music on :((

[@ChrisPortalBits]

Thanks for the heads-up. While it may not be free: I’d appreciate you moving over to both another free platform, as well as possibly paid platforms such as iTunes at some point. Of course I’d understand if you didn’t, but I thought I’d at least let you know that there is a want for such a thing. Best of luck with the move over from SoundCloud!

[@OtayTayMirae]

Man it sucks to hear that. I mainly started using Soundcloud just so I could listen to your music, especially your older mixes. I hope you'll be able to find a platform that works for you. I know most have suggested Spotify, but what about bandcamp? Maybe put together album compilations of your works.

Hello, this is off-subject but i just wanted to ask, are you planning on making any remixes of any songs from the SU movie?

[@AWalYT]

Hearthis.at might be a good SoundCloud-like alternative, and it's rather straighforward to import what you already have.

[@RoseTheVideomancer]

You have to pay to upload more than just MP3s which if you want amazing sound quality... you're not going to want. At least soundcloud DOES let you upload lossless files for free.

[@bmhater1283]

@@RoseTheVideomancer What the fuck, uploading an audio file by using money? Damn how scummy that website is?

[@AWalYT]

@@RoseTheVideomancer It's more of a catch 22 than anything. End user get's the mp3 stream of whatever you uploaded (this is clyp's approach too) unless you pay, which would allow you to choose the bitrate (or go native). Given that SoundCloud always transcodes, even if the source is a mp3 file, I'd consider that an improvement. Not to mention that if the goal is good sound quality, it'd probably be best to stick to KZbin for free content, since all videos are getting the Opus treatment now.

[@RoseTheVideomancer]

@@AWalYT that is fair and I did not know youtube was allowing that now. I guess for most listeners it is a good deal then.
