have soundcloud taken away more features available to us free users again? the stats for this week are gone and i'm pretty sure a couple others have been limited.

how long before we all have to pay per track we upload

Yeah I noticed this too. Maybe they are making it better for us. But I seriously doubt it.

and almost everyday it's down for some time and then it's up and then it's down

are there servers listening to coki's gobin or something

Na, its just a technical problem....I searched for it on google and saw a post with soundcloud saying they are trying to get it back up asap.

They've got to have gajillions of terabytes worth of our audio on their servers for free. Yeah it fucks up, but you can always not use the service. Myspace beckons. lolzer.

They took away the weekly stats, which is pretty shit.

Realize this yesterday thought it was just mine

+1

bastards lol

one day ill buy an account

Cant complain if somethings free right?

Thats why i have a basic paid account, and got bitchy when soundcloud went down and they upgraded me with extra upload time
They are nice people and are actually a small team based in germany. I believe they are the fastest growing music service post myspace available.

I hadn't even noticed this time. It can be a little irksome sometimes but I don't really mind sound clouds occasional fuck ups, it's better than using myspaz

I think im gonna pay to have a better account, they say that your tunes will get more plays etc...anyone know anything about this? do they advertise your page or summin aha?

i agree with depone, ive spoken to the customer service people and they are genuine happy people!

but the weekly stats killed it for me, time to upgrade!

You can still see the week's stats. Just press "More".

I kinda agree, but it's fucked when they start out as a free service, get us hooked and then slowly take away features

loads of marketing works this way...... all that vitaminwater that people give away on the streets, get it known as a 'staple brand' (much like how soundcloud is becoming the new myspace for music) and then make money out of the brand.... or something like that, i think its fair enough

I bought an account a couple weeks ago. I don't use or really intend to use any of the features at all, but I do use Soundcloud every day, and felt it was right to 'donate'.

Respect to Soundcloud. For the amount of stuff they have to deal with, they get it spot on.
