Title: Soundcloud upload problems
Post by: Neil C on March 07, 2019, 05:09:36 PM
Hi just wondered if anyone else has this.

Suddenly last week I've been unable to upload tracks successfully to my SC account.
It goes very slowly in terms of loading get maybe 35% the way through and then tries to start again.
I have 14 mins of space.
I'm on the latest versions of IOS and Flash.

I think I've had this a long time ago but cant remember what to do.

Anyone else had this problem and/or solved it?

Got the tracks like little puppies just wanting to go for a walk, very frustrating :-(

I've noticed that it's very slow to upload recently Neil but I have managed to upload tracks.... eventually

Very frustrating

I pay for the pro version. It´s only 5€ a month. You can replace tracks and have a lot more minutes. I think it´s worth it and I love SoundCloud, one of the best music hosting sites ever.

Yo Neil,it's fine for me. All I can think of is maybe they choke it off when you come close to your limit?

I'm the same as Martyn,I do subs for the year. I'm running out of room too,so I'll either have to spring clean,or pay for the pro edition.

Another recommendation for paying for PRO here

I love SOUNDCLOUD and always get worried when the rumours of its demise regularly surface

Having the unlimited space on the pro plan is great as I use it for circulating different versions of mixes and masters to clients using the "private link" function (so nobody without the link can see it) and the download option

Don't forget that the streaming version of the song you upload is compressed - but if someone downloads the file they get exactly what you uploaded so you can give out high quality versions
