I'm a PM at SoundCloud and want to let everyone know that this post is very, very old. I believe over 2 years. Difficult to tell from the site though.

That said, the feedback here in this thread is good feedback, so I do appreciate everyone taking the time to write it. Much of will be resolved soon, so keep on the lookout for future updates.

Let me know if you have any specific questions or input.

Glad to see you guys are listening and open.

Guess I'll toss in my own gripe. I played an album for my newborn daughter to put her to sleep. Some nice soothing acoustic guitar. Yet when it reaches the end it just auto plays some other loud rock track instead of stopping or giving the option to loop. Made my own playlist of the same tracks from the album hoping that would stop the offending track from playing at the end, but no such luck.

Am I missing something stupid? I can't even figure out how it is selecting this other random track to play at the end of my playlist.

Thanks, we try to talk to users as much as possible.

What you're referring to is the autoplay of related tracks. Great feature for background listening - not so much for your use case :)

You can turn it off by going to the options screen. Go to the "person" icon tab, then the 3 dots button on the top right. De-select "Autoplay related tracks".

Any other feedback and I'd love to hear it. You can always DM me on Twitter @colemercer as well, I keep it open.
