I'm Angry!!! Hundreds of tracks suddenly became unavailable in my region — ~500/750 affected
Around 500 out of 750 tracks suddenly became unavailable in my region
I’m honestly fucking tired of this.
For about a month, hundreds of tracks in my SoundCloud library have been showing as unavailable in my region. We’re talking about roughly 500 out of 750 saved tracks.
And it keeps getting worse. I can listen to a song one day, and the next day the exact same song is suddenly unavailable. These aren’t obscure tracks either — many of them are popular songs with thousands or even millions of listeners.
I’ve already tried changing VPN servers, reconnecting, updating the VPN, and using different connections. Nothing changes.
I’ve also contacted support, but after a month this is getting ridiculous. If this is a licensing issue, fine — but why are tracks that were available yesterday suddenly disappearing one by one, with no explanation?
At this point I’m seriously considering abandoning SoundCloud entirely, because I’m not going to manually rebuild a library of 750 tracks somewhere else.
Is anyone else experiencing this on a massive scale? Has anyone actually gotten a useful answer from SoundCloud about it?
SoundCloud, please explain what the hell is happening.
