maybe i'm just a neophobic neckbeard, but it kind of pisses
me off how it starts playing some random asshole song after
whatever you're listening to finishes, without giving you
any indication of the track's name, artist, etc....

I plays the next track in the list you started playing from,
as far as I know.

For instance, if you played from your stream, and surfed
around for a bit, it'll take the next track on your stream.

well then i guess i clicked on the wrong item, causing the
playlist to gyrate rapidly beyond my muthafuckin
expectations.

it's just very poorly explained. i feel like it's sending
viewers off to stupid nonsense without my permission.
they're welcome to, like, put up a plain english info panel
or something

if you like soundcloud, super. i've loved the shit out of
that site for the past two or three years, but now it smells
like recycled farts

amongst the tracks i just deleted is the one they claimed
committed copyright infringement on some shitty horrid
boring brostep track. fist yourself with a power drill,
soundcloud.

they "upgraded" my account to a super ultra pro whatever and
finally gave me more usable web statistics. suitable they'd
finally get guilty about withholding that now

a webhost i use provides me with "unlimited" bandwidth.
while i doubt that'd hold if i were britney spears and
posted and mp3 on twitter, it works for my "idm troglodyte"
level of usage. soundcloud offered a slick interface and
friendly community.... but, as with all these services
(myspace, facebook, mp3.com etc) they finally blew their wad
too early and robbed me of providing people visiting my page
a worthwhile experience. which makes me pissed off i still
have 8+ months of paid subscription left.

Yah, if you're following good ppl, the stream plays good
musics. I'm mostly following xlt/braindance folk, so I'm
quite pleased.

There's always some creativity and un-crystallized vision in
this ultra underground, and no amount of skrillex birrion
dalla DJ can buy that shit.

soundcloud was made by enthusiastic young people who are
totally into sound and just LOVE it and it got better and
better then they got a big consultancy team in and went with
mobile n shit, made it even better. better and better

"mobile n shit" essentially means "hide some of the controls
so we can put blank space everywhere and make it look like
the apple store." it looks ok, but it's more annoying to
use. things that had a direct button are now hidden in a
dropdown. they didn't follow through either; old interface
still shows up half the time. maybe it's more windows 8 than
apple store.

soundcloud is not just about showing off musics (though it
does that), it's also about finding random other cool musics
people. it should not be about confusing cool musics people
and make them say "is this another track by the same guy or
is that tiny player lozenge giving me sass again? hey where
was that feature i used to use? fuck this let's delete
everything and go complain vociferously on xlt"

Correct. Soundcloud is about letting you litter the
internet with your 'hobby' to feed your fragile ego's
ever-growing hunger for acceptance by nameless online
personas.

In 5 years, soundcloud will just be a white screen, all
interfaces hidden. Because minimalism, is efficiency.

if we actually get neural interfaces working where you just
have to think "play favorites," that's totally a possibility

see, right now. it is fucking doing it right now. i just
wanted to see if this chap "automatic tasty" had any new
scottish acid tracks, but somehow i clicked on a 14yo cut &
paste skit he did and now it won't stop playing.

surfed into this excellent soundclouds when googling for a synth. let it
continue playing and heard one i wanted more info on two or
three tracks later. page still just shows the original track
that keyworded me into the joint, so i click the sassy
lozenge at the top right, figuring it'll take me to
whatever's playing now. it doesn't. it simply does nothing;
ignores the click. turns out you have to either open it in a
new window, or right-click copy-link-location. maybe it's
just a firefox problem, but i sort of doubt it.

i think i get it, now. after the next track kicks in, the
player controls move somewhere else, possibly not in view
without scrolling. on individual track pages it's a box on
the lower right, if you surf directly into a playlist page
it moves down the center, and if you listen to a playlist on
a spotlight page the button actually doesn't move at all.

do you have autism or something?

the doctors told me i registered on the "autistic spectrum,"
but that i wasn't anywhere near actually autistic/aspie. so,
now i tell people i have half-aspergers.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I used to hang out in
@wrongplanet and all the aspies in there were extremely
argumentative, but at least they were well-read and
oftentimes correct.

It's like you got all the bad parts of Aspies (no friends,
no GF, no social skills, no musical talent) but none of the
good (blinding intelligence.)

detecting one of my tracks twice in a row within two days.

gradually thinned out my trax over the last few months.
cancelled my premiums last night, even though i had two
months left. i wish i could claim that were a symbolic fuck
you -- throw those two months in their faces, bro -- but in
truth i feel like if i don't do it now, i'll just forget and
something strange will happen to my soundcloud in late
october and surprise the fuck out of me.
