This looks good! My current biggest critique of the soundcloud site is the search itself - I can never find what I'm looking for. There should be an ability to order results by popularity so I don't have to look through 50 random remixes of a song before I can get to the original.

I was going to mention this myself!

As a heavy user of Soundcloud (Few hours a day, every day) I have amassed quite a bit of a list of likes and reposts.

Some days I want to take a trip back in time and listen to some songs I listened to last year or two years ago. As it stands now I'm forced to scroll for a very very long time. There is no like/repost search function and there is virtually nothing in the means of organizing by name, song, artist, date (liked, posted, or other) or anything of the sort. This makes it hard to find old songs I like.

It's not only getting to the original version of a song that's bothersome, but also searching for genres.

Try searching for "swing", see how much unrelated songs you'll get before hitting a swing song.
