New For You: Even More Control

You told us that you wanted to have more control when you’re playing music & audio on SoundCloud. We heard you. Which is why today we’re rolling out our brand-new play controls across soundcloud.com.

You’ll find them in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Pause play, skip to the next sound, go back to the previous one to play again — hey, sometimes you just have to hear an amazing song twice in a row. (Or thirty times in a row. No judgement.)

We’ve also added play history. Want to get back to that great song or podcast that you heard at random while you were running SoundCloud in the background? Simple. Use the ‘previous’ function to travel back in time through what you’ve been playing in your current session on SoundCloud.

Plus, try clicking on the title of what you’re currently playing: it will take you straight to the play page so you can access the waveform and comments.

Let us know what you think of the new play controls: leave a note in the comments, or drop us a line on Twitter or Facebook. We’re working every day to build you a better SoundCloud — and we love to get your input.
