Soundcloud Closing? Backup Your Tracks Before It Disappears!

in #music7 years ago

Are you using SoundCloud?

If you're one of its 175 million users, you may want to download your library before it's forever gone.

The future of the audio streaming service is uncertain after laying off almost half of its staff and closing its San Francisco and London Offices.

A move that according to some sources, is only enough to buy a little time.

So if that's the case, you should go to your soundcloud account asap and download the tracks that you can. Unfortunately, you can't save every track.

CNET provided the tedious process on how to backup your account.

Ahh crap, I keep most of my voice acting reels on there. I've also been using it for one of my blogs... Thanks for the heads up :/ Know any similar service with embedding tools? I can use YouTube if need be, but for just audio... bleh.

did a quick googling and found this http://hiphopspeakeasy.com/2017/02/alternatives-soundcloud-ultimate-guide/ . Clyp.it or mixcloud sounds good for your need. And yeah, youtube if left without a choice. :)

I heard about the offices in San Francisco! You think its really possible they would shut down something as large as soundcloud? Artists make good money from it

I hope not. I hope they get the funding they need to keep on going. And they should find a better way to monetize the platform.

thanks for the info. nice post. :)

You're welcome. thanks for dropping by!:)

They need to use a decentralized storage system to cut costs. Too bad I really like soundcloud thanks for the heads up. I have some old tracks on their I don't want to loose.

Decentralized storage is an option they should probably consider. I hope that they survive.
Thanks for dropping by! ;)

Really? Thanks sa info. I guess lipat na sa spotify

Hehe. I have a post about spotify but that is a different story. Thanks for dropping by.:)

Man that sucks

Yeah. I hope that they can make it through.

Oh yikes, I hadn't heard the news! That's not good because most of the music we use for our YouTube travel vlog comes from there 😬

It sucks but there will be alternatives. Followed.:)

Taghirap na talaga. Kahit kasing-laki ng souncloud there's a possibility of closing down. Grabe. Krisis na.
