@colemercer Any idea when Go would be made available in India?

Utterly DEVASTATED this isn't in the UK 😟 Massive SoundCloud fan. Can't wait until it gets here. Good job guys 😄

@steve228uk Thanks a bunch! And we appreciate the patience :)

Congrats on the launch @colemercer. I think everyone is rooting for SoundCloud one way or another. I doubt this feedback will go anywhere, but, is it entirely necessary for SoundCloud to "name" each and every product that's released? "Pro" and "On SoundCloud" and "Go." Eventually it just gets super confusing and it's tough for the SoundCloud brand to resonate completely. I think artists/consumers will "know" the difference overtime. So instead of differentiating, just "be" SoundCloud and guide the right user into the right place as they use the product. Easier said than done, I know. Anyways, knit-picking. :) Excited to see some of the UI/UX changes you've been hinting at. From a creators perspective, we're always in your corner.

@dannyfiorentini Thanks Danny. We appreciate the feedback. We could be clearer with the names - since it's a two sided market with creators and listeners it's a little harder to clearly define which things are targeted to each. Be sure to send any more feedback our way :)

@colemercer Cheers mate. Hoping things don't get lost in translation; wish you guys all the best.
Cole Mercer
@dannyfiorentini Definitely won't - and thanks again for the feedback. You can Tweet at or Twitter DM me if you have more in the future.

I'm an avid Soundcloud user from INDIA! i use the product everyday ! This seems like a really smart strategy , too bad it isn't in my country right now .

Awesome. Thank you so much for not gutting the core features of SoundCloud to shove them into SoundCloud Go. :)
Cole Mercer
@catherinetcai No problem. Love the Username BTW :D

@colemercer Cheers! There's a surprising number of people who don't know what I'm referencing...

Really glad this finally got shipped : that paves the way for some big, much needed improvement to discovery and social features.
Cole Mercer
@theoblochet agreed :)

I used to change between Soundcloud and Spotify looking for "discovery" and "mobility". When Spotify improved dramatically its "Weekly discover" service I ended up sticking to Spotify and getting the premium. I am very happy to see the offline mode finally arriving to Soundcloud. It's always been a service that I really wanted to like, I am glad to see that I have more reasons than ever to do so! Keep us posted when it launches worldwide! (and get some kind of form on .com/go to notify users when it's available in their country! if only for detecting the early adopters)

@siragnabih Good idea Sirag - thanks for the feedback there. Let us know if you have any more ideas or input.

Used to be a paid member and always wanted this feature. Would have to use third party apps to save music to the phone. However, as of late, myself and many other DJ's included have been fleeing the platform because many mixes/mashups are AGGRESSIVELY being taken down. If the rate at which these takedowns continue, how are mid-tier DJ's supposed to showcase their talent on SC anymore? It once used to be our hub for spreading awareness, but I keep getting pings from DJ's saying they're tired of having to repost or create new accts and are moving to Audiomack (which is obviously not as good).

Pretty excited about offline play support. Overall great release! I'd love for this to replace my Apple Music subscription, but I'm not sure the "expanded catalog" will cover everything I listen to.

Yes! It's about time. Offline playing is here 😄
