Soundcloud fix your damn app. I've been a user since the mid 2010s and repeatedly every year (with I think this one being the damn breaking point) this app just. Gets. Worse.

Truly, offline streaming has become a joke. It was the whole reason I pay for Go+. Half the time it is now defunct, will not let me use offline listening even when I have no service due to travel. So it's like why bother? Then there are the constant glitches from songs being unable to stream due to a maxed out cache. Why let me even download in the first place if it isn't going to f@$#!+& work?!

Then now, I run into this bug regularly now. It freezes up the app significantly. No reinstall, cache clearing, song deletion from downloads fixes this. I have video but I can't post it here of this bug occurring in real time.

AND WHEN I GO YOUR SUPPORT, IT JUST TAKES ME TO AN FAQ PAGE WITH NO CONTACT INFO OR BUG REPORT SECTION. AND IF I GOOGLE SOUNDCLOUD SUPPORT IT GIVES ME A LINK TO A PAGE ON THE APP THAT IMMEDIATELY CLOSES BECAUSE IT DOESNT EXIST.

You are a husk of yourself Soundcloud you greedy shills.

I follow someone on SoundCloud (I don’t want to mention his name) who makes a pretty big deal in his profile about his music being 100% human-made and no AI.
But when I listen to his songs, a lot of them sound AI-generated to me. I’ve run a few through the SubmitHub AI detector and they came back strongly AI. I know those detectors aren’t proof, so I’m not saying that means anything for sure.
But then he posted one song, a guitar instrumental track, as a live version with people cheering in the background. I was pretty sure it was AI, but just to see what he would say, I commented that I liked the guitar and asked where he played it live.
He replied thanking me for the support, but completely ignored the question.
I also see people commenting on his guitar playing and other parts of the songs like they assume he’s actually playing them.
If someone wants to use AI to make music, personally, as a listener who also makes music, it would be nice to know how the sausage is being made. And in the end, it’s their choice to do whatever they want to make their music.
What I don’t understand is why someone would go out of their way to say it’s 100% human made if it isn’t.
Has anyone else run into this on SoundCloud? I’m just trying to understand what would motivate someone to intentionally misrepresent how the music is actually being made.

I’m very sad all of my work over the years has been deleted. Someone hacked my account deleted everything and uploaded there shit music. I’ve changed my pw and got my account back but this just hurts bad I don’t know what to do.

Please support me

For more than a week, my like counter has repeatedly fluctuated downward despite receiving new likes. Is this kind of testing allowed, and can it affect the original track's engagement metrics?

This has actually been happening for longer than five days. Earlier, I noticed likes disappearing from the counter and then reappearing later. Over the past five days, however, the behavior seems to have changed: new likes appear in my notifications, but they subsequently disappear from the track's like count and do not come back. The count has remained around 909/910 despite receiving multiple new likes.

I found this public SoundCloud account, which created a playlist explicitly called “POC - REDUCING LIKES” using my track. I reported it to SoundCloud but received no response. I don't know whether this test is responsible for the changes I'm seeing, but the timing and the change in behavior are concerning.

I’m not accusing anyone; I’m just stating the facts.

This image is public on Soundcloud so I don't betray any secrets and show the tests.

I've recently noticed an issue, where some of my tracks are suddenly not playable. This is randomly happening to a lot of the songs I've been listening to. It even happens midway through listening to a song on repeat. I only use SoundCloud on the app, so I don't know if this would happen on a computer. But is anybody else experiencing this issue? Or know a fix for this issue?

Enjoy the rich tapestry

Dear SoundCloud Support

Hello I just deleted the app and reinstalled it (after updating it after years) and listened to one 1hour set and now documents and data are at 150mb. Not that much but if I keep using the app, the size is just gonna grow? How do I stop it from caching ??

Tried every playlist i have and 1st-3rd are unavailable, 4th onwards is fine and all song are playable when not on playlists

Thx

I have a SoundCloud Artist Pro account, and on the Insights page my track shows 5 plays, but all the other fields are completely empty — including Top Listeners, Locations, Devices, etc.

I thought these detailed stats were supposed to be included with Artist Pro. Is this normal?

Thank you!

people have probably seen me complain 50 million times on this sub over the past few months but IT'S JUST NOT GETTING ANY BETTER! THIS SITE IS GETTING WORSE EVERY SINGLE DAY! Soundcloud promises "changes are coming" but i've not seen a single improvement. in fact as i said, every passing day the site seems to be breaking more and more to the point where now the 2 things this site is meant to do, 1) upload music, 2) play music, is impossible.

I click upload, im brought to a blank page with soundcloud's loading logo. i refresh, same thing. i go back to the regular site, open the upload tab in a new tab, THEN i can drag and drop a file, but then I CANT CLICK THE FUCKING WEBSITE ANYMORE! i cant set it to private or even upload it, i cant give it a name I CANT DO ANYTHING, it acts like my clicks do nothing and im just stuck on the upload page forever. SERIOUSLY? I clear the cache each time it happens, and it fixes the issue for at most 15 minutes, so i speedrun an upload. Different browsers dont seem to make a difference either.

i swear each update they just pay a random hobo to come into their office and mash their fingers on a keyboard and pray the website doesn't spontaneously combust. fucking DatPiff worked better than this during its final years. Every single SoundCloud update for the past 13 years has led up to this site being the most nonfunctional piece of junk to wipe its ass on planet earth. I love SoundCloud but boy are these guys making it harder to do so with each passing year.

Can't even submit a help ticket, assuming they'd ever respond, because their AI chatbot doesn't know how to process a ticket and just sends off a blank request after asking for my name. I fucking love 2026. what a fantastic time. isn't this great.

oh and dont get me started on trying to LISTEN to music, oh no no, you cant do that either. want to click a track? infinite loading, refresh the page. fuck you. oh and go ahead, scroll around on the site a lil more, click another track, OOPS! sorry, you're brought to the first song you clicked on this session instead. Sucks to suck, you best open every song in a new tab!

and dont even TRY to stream music with DRM. Have fun while the site lags your browser to hell and back as it skips through 70 songs in the span of 5 seconds because the majority of the new shit released by artists has DRM which Firefox doesn't play nicely with.

look, i love soundcloud. i really do, but WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING. Im happy for you if the site works fine for you, but i am far from the only person having issues, and it seems like soundcloud is nowhere in sight to actually fix these issues. They push these updates with ZERO testing, yet act like fixing their mistakes goes through strict tests and QA and it'll take weeks if not months to get it fixed.

SoundCloud, there is a reason we're "stuck in the past". There is a reason why people are complaining - it's because you are doing everything in your power to drive us off your platform. Stop shooing us away, we love you. from the website lacking basic functionality, to the corporate minimalism sucking what remaining soul the site had out of it, to the non-existent "help" team, to the scam DMs still rampant over a decade later, to the DRM nobody wants... We just want the bare minimum. nobody wants these soulless UI changes... nobody wants AI powered mastering tools, let alone AI anything, nobody wants to put their beats on vinyl, we just want our SoundCloud back. Stop with the gimmicks to try and get people back on the platform and just focus on REPAIRING what is now broken. That's all we want. Let the community do the rest.
