Sound Cloud has no real customer service, spotify is marginally better.

If I were to ever use ai it would be for myself like an ai version of myself to make music 😅

Oh noo and I’ve been using SoundCloud way before all this messy start started happing . I’m just uploading but not signing up with upgraded format omg no thank you fir the update

i care about the sound only i dont care about anything else

You've lost me. I just want to listen to music. Spotify meets my needs.

I don't see a problem everybody already sound the same. at this point AI might be the inspiration I need to up my game.

Sound clound better atleast the loop button works bruv

I wouldn’t like that either

Correct, Spotify is just good for year wrap

as far as I understand the AI training is actually training their algorithmic detection of AI music so they can quantify what percent of the song was AI generated (for example a whole song vs an AI generated bass line in a human produced song) and then potentially remove it. Soundcloud doesn't want AI music on it's platform because AI creations can't be copyrighted as well they are just flooding the platform taking away streams from actual artists. The AI music detection system works like the copyright detection where it will flag music and you will then have to prove it's authenticity.

The sad reality we find ourselves in, as artists, as musicians, as creators of the art, is that all the avenues for promoting our art involves some kind of AI system, or soon will. There is, or soon will be, no getting our stuff out into the world, bar us carving our stuff into stone tablets and hauling them to the town square, onto any platform free of AI. Furthermore, as soon as all providers and services have AI integration, the option to opt in or out will most likely be taken away from us, and we will have no choice, but stone tablets. I live in Norway, where we as a part of (not a member of) the EU, have some great laws protecting us against too much intrusion of AI in our lives, but still, we can't escape. I think artists world wide should band (pardon the pun) together and give the industry as a whole one of our fingers and call it a day. Maybe somewhere in time we can get back to making music.

I am a listener not an artist but for me Soundcloud is better than Spotify. It could be for my tastes though, I am interested in really cyberpunk style electronic music, I am not really interested in main stream music.

Alert! Soundcloud TOS now read (8/18/25) : "We will not use your content to train generative AI models that aim to replicate or synthesize your voice, music, or likeness without your explicit consent, which must be affirmatively provided through an opt-in mechanism. For the avoidance of doubt, neither SoundCloud nor any third party is allowed to use, copy or reproduce any Content delivered to the Platform under separate agreements, which is owned or controlled by third party rights holders (including artwork, images, logos, audio and audiovisual recordings (and any part thereof), underlying musical works and lyrics, and metadata) for the purposes of informing, training developing (or as input to) artificial intelligence technologies without authorization from the applicable rightsholders."

Really useful advice and was not aware of the Soundcloud deal breaker and customer service sucking.

Just started using Soundcloud and I don’t mind its features. I’m only a hobbyist music “producer” so I’m not stressed about the use of my material and I think you’ll be hard pressed to find a platform that isn’t using Ai in some form with or without our knowledge. Not many people fully read the terms.

For the consumer, SC is king. It’s the new mixtape.

In Soundcloud there are many songs isint support to your contry

I am currently having an issue with SoundCloud about monetization due to all my music is created with Suno AI. I was wondering if you had any take on how and where with SoundCloud I could provide them proof of my ownership. There is little to no information on this and on top of that they only allow one upload per song for proof but don't advise you what is actually needed for that single upload per song. Supposedly, once one song is approved then you won't have an issue with the rest. I was also dupped into paying for their integration AI "Fadr" as I was under the impression that running your music through "Fadr" provides a "tag" that tells SoundCloud that you used their integrated AI and automatically approves your monetization. This turned out to be false as I ran almost 200 songs I have crated through "Fadr" only to be rejected. Any insight on this would be helpful.

Me: I make $ off of my music everyday. I'm 100% independent.

Music has become easy to make by non-musicians and now, AI. As small as the music industry is, it’s horribly over saturated. Real musicians are being pushed out.

There’s no monetary incentive for independent musicians to create new works of art.

Do it because you enjoy it.

I believe they changed their terms by now!

End of the day make music that sounds good to you. 1 like, 1 share is enough. If it's good it will make money. Want to make money in music then sell 2 million tracks on a website. ✌️

Yes it is pop adds on your music after distribution. Share revenue.

Lol now SoundCloud has taken shiet

spotify is the mainstream normie platform

soundcloud is for the "fun" people

both platforms suck and will * over musicians.

Outdated Information Soundcloud has said that they do not and will not train any music with AI..
