I wish I could somehow archive some of their content. They have a serious amount of audio data and are the only source I know with annotations attached to specific seconds within a track. I've been thinking about building a music-generating neural network–something that may work especially well for electronic (and often instrumental) music that soundcloud has a lot of.
Unfortunately, they have limited their API access to approved developers, and I haven't even gotten a response after applying two months or so ago....
- aeontech 9y agoArchiveTeam is discussing archival efforts I think, but I doubt they'd be able to get all of it, it's a pretty big dataset (several PB, I think). It sounds like youtube-dl tooling works with soundcloud though, so you could write a crawler to at least archive your favorite artists' tracks individually. Example: youtube-dl http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/182804938 http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/182804938
