soundcloud's new licensing policy

[phosphoric]

i don't know WHAT THE **** it's called but i am so angry right now. i can't even listen to full versions of some of my favorite songs without a soundcloud go subscription. and a soundcloud go subscription is $13/month. i don't pay for my music, and i never will, and paying $13/month just to listen to a COUPLE SELECT SONGS is so infuriating to me

If you lke the song, please explain why you dont just buy the song for ~$1 and you can listen to it on whatever system you want and as many times as you want?

i totally would if it didn't necessitate revamping my entire offline music library; when i want to listen to edm, i log into soundcloud because it's an easy, free solution to listen to some amazing tracks. when i don't feel like listening to edm, i go offline and listen to whatever else i have downloaded. as it stands, if i want to take my entire soundcloud library offline and create a playlist, it'd take a long, long time and cost a lot of money. on top of that, a lot of musicians i follow on soundcloud don't even make their songs available for download or purchase anywhere.

i suppose i'm overreacting a tiny bit because i can still listen to the majority of my soundcloud tracks, but all the wasted time on playlists and all of my favorite songs...

Soundcloud's been in the red for a long time.  It's either this or no more soundcloud at all

Cant they do ads like spotify?

[UTommieTanka]

Don't really ever use soundcloud but that is pretty crappy, I don't like paying full price for spotify let alone $13 for soundcloud.

they did, and they still do. the thing is, spotify's ads are much more frequent and much more regular; soundcloud's ad formula is erratic at best, and those erratic ads play at such an infrequent interval that it's no surprise that they're broke.

i actually just double-checked and found that it's $10/month, but that's still an insane price to pay for full versions of a couple of songs. as mentioned above, the loss of ads in the soundcloud app is kind of pointless because of their god-awful algorithm for determining when to play them
