DavidDavid Weekend Quickie: Change track permalinks

Here’s a quick one that will come in handy for track titles that are a little longer than usually. Until now, the permalink of your track got automatically generated from the track title. That changes today with the new little feature that lets you edit the permalinks of your tracks. You’re able to do that directly on the upload page and also later in your track settings.

The two nice little screen grabs below will help you find it.

Here’s the upload page:

100 uploaded - SoundCloud




And here’s how it looks in your track settings (also works for tracks you have already uploaded) – don’t forget to save:




Edit Audiotool.recording - SoundCloud

One important note: if you change the permalinks of existing tracks, please note that this will also affect links & widgets you’ve posted across the web. Please update these accordingly.

Have an awesome weekend, everyone!

    This is going to come in handy especially with some of the song titles I have posted lately.
  • Glad you like it!

    Nice one

    I have some very longwinded names for my dj mixes etc

    cool

    but does anyone know how to add a track they have Bern sent in the dropbox to a 'set' at all?

    Thanks

  • You'd need to download it and re-upload to your set. I'm afraid this the only option at the moment
  • Great one!

    Soundcloud really is almost perfect now. I have few suggestions though:
    1) Ability to choose who can and who cannot download the tracks you send while sending to different users. For example I'd like everyone to hear the track but only certain people I trust to be able to download.
    2) Proper forum. Actually it's not easy to implement I see, because good forum requires moderation, several sane people who's ready to spend fair amount of time on forum.
    3) Imho number of artists one can follow should be limited by 1000 or even 500.
  • Thanks for the suggestions!

    1) different privileges for different contacts on the same track. Go it, will discuss
    2) Hmm, you are right, it's probably a little out of our short term scope at the moment
    3) interesting, why?
  • Cheers!
    2) Not that important really, just could be a nice addition.
    3) It seems like at this moment for some users mass following others became some kind of sport. And following more then 500 artists/labels doesn't make sense to me anyway. Or maybe not overall "follows" should be restricted, but daily, by 10 or 20. Also not a really big issue though.
  • 4) prevent spamming
    I've just received an e-mail:
    "CVM Records just sent a private set called CVM Records - CVM029 - Black Indusrty EP to you and 1953 other people. " (correction: 2408 already)
    Probably there is a means to mass send a tune or set? (maybe to all people that you follow? Since they've just recently started following me, and I don't follow them)
    I can turn off notifications but in fact I DO like to receive notifications about tracks sent to me by people, but not by bots or spammers!
  • Useful addition... thanks.
  • Name
    I notice that one of the identical song's names gets -number at the end. Example /steaner/yes-you-can and /someone/yes-you-can-2
    doesn't make sense.. why it can't be /steaner/yes-you-can and /someone/yes-you-can?!!
  • this is possible now, so /steaner/hey and /someone/hey is possible!
  • Cityrocker
    Hey

    I have just seen your office pics

    Cool T-Shirt!

    Where can I get one! ")

    Looks like you fixed that to keep old links working... good.
