I use Soundcloud often in my browser (Safari on macOS). For some reason, songs stop occasionally for a short period of time and then continue. I haven’t found the reason. It feels like buffering. It happens even when Soundcloud is the active and only tab in the browser, so it probably is not not the browser throttling JavaScript.
And the website requires ungodly amounts of CPU. When I’m on battery I open iTunes and listen to locally stored music because the Soundcloud website drains my laptop battery.
I don’t understand how they cannot notice these problems. They take in millions and millions of Euro while the streaming is intermittent and the website drains the battery. What are they working on that this can wait?
While we are at it: How about an official Soundcloud app for macOS so I can use the keyboard’s media keys?
I tried Soundcloud Go (it was free the first month). I canceled it after the first two weeks because I did not see any benefit to how I use Soundcloud.
- shepardrtc 10y agoI use the SoundCloud app on my iPhone and its perfect. No buffering issues whatsoever, even when the internet is spotty.
- redcalx 10y agoHuh. On my android phone it's practically unusable. Seems like it's a very large app and thus I think it's causing the phone to run out of RAM (or get very close to).
