Maybe slightly off topic, but I'm subscribed to YC on Soundcloud and had a notification pop up last night to tell me that this interview was available. Hit "play" on the driveway this morning while still connected to wifi and started my commute. 5 minutes later and it cuts out - mobile data dropped out (I live in a rural area).
Does the Soundcloud app not support buffering at all? I'd have thought that 20 minutes of speech would be a couple of MB at most. I see I can "upgrade" to allow offline listening for £9.99 per month, which seems pointless as this is all I'd use the service for.
I suppose I'll have to go down the route of using a legally dubious third party service to download the interview like I did for the Zuckerberg one a few weeks back. Shame they don't offer a more convenient way to listen, as this is shaping up to be a really interesting series.
- tedmiston 10y agoI had similar issues with the Soundcloud app on iOS cutting out mid-track. Nothing seemed to fix it aside from totally restarting the app and finding my play head position again. It's kind of surprising because their desktop experience is so so good. It's definitely possible to download on Soundcloud (ex. see "Download" button here https://soundcloud.com/travisscott-2/uber-everywhere https://soundcloud.com/travisscott-2/uber-everywhere). I think whoever runs the YC Soundcloud account has not enabled it. I agree it would be nice.
