subfader's dashboard

I highly doubt it's added on top. Otherwise they would state the higher total...

it's the new limit. http://support.soundcloud.com/soundcl...

"Good news is that with the new cheaper 'Lite' account, you can bump up your tracks to 1000 downloads per track." LOL?

the bottom line is that everybody uses soundcloud for a whole variety of reasons... the ONE common reason is the HOSTING.

Soundcloud is a place for all of us (artists/producers/dj's/podcasters/etc.) to host our stuff.

Just create tiered levels of hosting accounts based on disk space, and that will solve all the problems.

Sure we use all the awesome ancillary things Soundcloud offers. They do great stuff: the widgets, the online community, etc. (These are the things that BRING all of us to the HOSTING)
again, the common thing we all use is hosting. it's the awesome other stuff that brings us to the Soundcloud party.

artists that want to host full AAC, WAV or whatever will still have a certain set of diskspace to work with just as a dj that wants to post dj sets as mp3s.

how about a dj that wants to post mixes and a few tracks that they produce?
changing the structure to GIG space is the answer. it's a tested format that all online hosting companies use. Soundcloud will beat them in the area of music because they offer more... but right now, it's unusable for a lot of people- even the one's that pay a good amount of money.

think of all the podcasters that create shows and would like to use the widgets on their webpages... there is a lot of business that is being missed with the "minute" pricing scheme.

the Soundcloud business model right now only makes sense to artists & producers and time limits exclude all the others.

please rethink this!

I think soundcloud is awesome... i just want it to be usable for dj's like me.

Yeah, I realize I was a bit harsh and generalizing. – subfader, on November 17, 2009 19:16

Seriously: In comparison to people following you, why do you think the people YOU follow could be interested in your stuff?
That's why I think this is a spam-only feature.

as pointed out by george it might be best to limit the ammount of strangers (users who don't follow the sender) to send tracks to.

check your dashboard settings. but possible the filter is not working as a few other filters on there.

The worst thing is that they probably couldn't care less since that's what they want: delete your stuff / leave or purchase the Pro Plus account.

I've been using soundcloud since it began .. and i have to say i dont think the changes work .. a combination of both maybe .. if the reason you limited the minutes is to save storage space which is pretty obvious and completely understandable.. (marketing it as a cute "retro tape " idea doesn't wash with anyone ive spoken too, they've all seen through it) then say so please .. people love honesty not marketing guff.

how about make any track thats longer than 25 mins (because anything longer than that 99% of the time is a mix or bands live gig) , must be 128kbps or less .. then only taking up the same space as an average length wav / aiff individual track.. i know it complicates the system slightly but that way everyone gets what they want .. just an idea off the top of my head, feel free to correct it .

like lots and lots of people on here im a Dj/ Producer, and i use it for both putting up tracks AND mixes .. i use it as THE one stop shop to hear what i am about .. thats what makes soundcloud great .. all music to do with me in one place, not one mix on divshare or yousendit .. and a the tracks on somewhere else like myspace .. people can just go on my profile and hear it all ..

For the site to continue to grow it Must have.. producers AND dj's AND labels etc.. for it to continue to work .. other wise whats the point in using it.

I dont think im on my own here , and i feel the product is being seriously hindered if it cannot provide me both the ability to post mixes and tracks for a reasonable price ..

I do think the pricing system is very reasonable as it is (the cup of coffe a month analogy is a very good one) BUT only if we can have a way round to get both tracks and mixes ..

.. i'm worried it has the potential to completely hamstring soundcloud in its infancy .. i really like the website and the way its provided its service..

i've recommended soundcloud to nearly every one i know .. it would be a shame to stop doing this because it doesn't satisfy my (and thousands of others like me ) business requirements anymore

thanks for reading if you got this far ..

Oh dear! Looks like the DJs aren't the only user group being scared away :(

SC: Can you feel the bad vibes in the cloud?

they copied almost all the design yes, but
- their service is free (is it really? should get problems the more users upload)
- they concentrate on mixes
- their widget player sucks
- (claim to) pay fees to the music industry

There was this change (to come?) that you could send a track to only one group in order to have spam under control.

About embedding:
For my site I embed players of other peoples DJ sets. But these days I can't be sure it still works next week. Not even if it's a pro account.
And even if you embed only your own stuff, you'd have to remove the defunct players in your myfaceblogforum what is mostly not possible.

Looks like they're too lazy to set up page navigation / want to display everything on one page.

...I'm not very satisfied...

I hate spammers like you making SoundCloud a SpamCloud.. How would you feel if all it takes to spam you is following you?

And actually this crap is possible atm. And because of that I had to disable tracks on the dashboard by people I don't follow.

for #2 see this monster thread http://support.soundcloud.com/soundcl...

Please open a new idea thread for "I would also like to see a feature to simply "hide" tracks without deleting them." but they want to save webspace so this might not be liked.
