Change in the play counts on tracks

Same here, I don't really understand that.

please please change it back !!!!!!

bump ... PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK !!!

No!

at least it should be an option, i really don't care at all how many times I have listened to my own tracks on soundcloud and everyone i have spoken to on soundcloud neither .. it was great & good as it was, why not just have a simple tick-box option in the preferences "Include my own plays in stats" ?

I agree. I am not interested in seeing my own plays added to the total play count. I don't see how this helps.

bad idea... Absolutely annoying. A bug you try to sell us as a feature?

I agree too, counterproductive

C'mon guys... how else can you stack your play count? Oh, wait...

so, is this another "feature" then that nobody wants?

I really just wish SC left well enough alone and just fixed the bugs with the features they already had going...

I call it the discogs way: Roll out new features just for the sake of it. Let the community beta test them and find bugs, but don't fix them. Instead, add new features nobody asked for without any warning. Repeat.

People are just going to keep hitting play on their own tracks bumping the count up, i think this is a way to play the system on SC. A lot of us want our music to be heard but artificially inflating your plays just seems wrong.
