Ein sehr schönes Kapitel Soundcloud geht zuende, ein neues startet dafür jetzt umso konsequenter. Ab kommender Woche bietet die Musikplattform nicht mehr die Option “Switch back to classical Soundcloud” an. Das bedeutet – Soundcloud zwingt seine Nutzer ab sofort in die neue Oberfläche.
Folgende Nachricht schickte die Berliner Musikunternehmung heute (08.05.2014) an seine Kunden:
“Next week, we’ll be turning off the option to go back to Classic SoundCloud.
We appreciate that this represents a change that some of you have been hoping we wouldn’t make, but it’s something we must do. The complexities of keeping two SoundCloud websites up and communicating with each other at a global scale has been extremely difficult, causing increased outages on both sites and slowed the platform as a whole. More importantly, however, we need to make this change in order to focus on building new features for you in the future.
While we’ve grown into a global destination for millions of musicians, audio creators and fans, our dedication to the SoundCloud community remains our core value, right where it’s been since we launched back in 2008. At this point, many of the features available on Classic, such as Stats, Upload and Messaging, have been relaunched on SoundCloud. We’ll continue to improve upon current features and are always at work on new ways to help you better build and connect with your audience and collaborate with fellow artists.
We can’t emphasize enough how thankful we are for your passion and dedication and its impact on the SoundCloud community. We hope that just as you’ve been an integral part of making SoundCloud what it is today, you’ll be a part of what comes next.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reply to this email.
With thanks,
Your friends at SoundCloud”
