Soundclick Deleted my Profile!!

[KurtisRich]

Okay so I logged on to my account on Soundclick to upload a track and an alert showed up stating that my account is under review. (It had stated something like, copyright infringements, remixes, etc)

So I emailed the support team asking them why it was under review and told them that all my music is all originally composed and there are no use of any type of samples of any sort. They responded back saying that my music is not in the correct genre and to correct them or the account will remain under review . So I replied back saying that it is in the right genre and that I feel it belongs in that genre.

The next day, my profile and all the music was deleted. WTF is that? Don't they got better things to do? Anyways, screw Soundclick. Anyone know any better hosts and providers?

Looks like they are doing some house cleaning, I have a couple of accounts that I never uploaded anything to that are about to be delted.. No big deal to me tho.
Thats crazy that they would do that to you, I havent heard of that unless you were ripping off someones songs or something...
Maybe remixes they dont allow anymore?
Actually they have had that "gonna be deleted" on the inactive ones for wuite awhile and they still havent deleted them.

reverbnation is really cool so far. good way to keep track of who's listening

I hear illmuzik.com has a producer section to upload beats to.
But you cant have too many beats on there though..
You should try there anyway!

I had a Raggaeton track that stayed at the top of the Latin charts on sound click for like 6 months. Raggaeton is a subgenre in Latin music at the time they didn't have a str8 Raggaeton section. They asked me to move it to Raggaeton once they opened it where I would have lost my chart position and would've have gotten less hits, I refused and they deleted my account. The other people on the latin charts where the ones complaining to them. I haven't fucked with sound click since!

I havent uploaded music on soundclick in ages...its just a wack place to be imo.

Lol exactly what happened to me. Let's boycott soundclick

 

[MagnaOpera]

LOL wtf man genres are totally subjective... but if an artist claims that their music is in a particular genre I think they'd be more "right" than someone objectively saying that they're in a different genre... that's pretty fucked up.

I'm starting to think that too. I've recently signed up to ReverbNation and I think I'm gonna post most of my shit there, SoundClick seems full of emo's and the wackest emcees you ever heard.

careful of reverbnation, if you read the "fine print", what I gleaned from it was that they essentially reserve the right to sell anything you upload to their website without your consent and without informing you, at any time.

Gotta watch out for that shit guys. Server space ain't free. It's rare that you're ever getting "something" for nothing. Ya dig? Best way to do is to buy hosting with a legitimate webhosting company and sell your own shit. Cut out the middle man. Looks 10x more "professional" anyways. cell2dee.com>reverbnation.com/cell2dee

Good thinking. Maybe I might just tag all my music I post now lol.

This in not uncommon from soundclick as of late. Not only account holders but friends of account holders have been getting deleted also.

Soundclick is owed by a law firm that specializes in intellectual property and business law...I think out of Atlanta. My best guess is that revenue is down and they are looking for investors, which means spring cleaning of the site....unfortunately, saying they deleted 500,000 accounts looks better than saying they deleted 100,000 accounts and got 400,000 to update their genres, which is bogus anyway. Lastly, these guys have to be grossly understaffed...its much easier to delete than micromanage.

Also, not uncommon..almost all mp3 sites have conditions where they are allowed to use your music without you knowing it. Its a stipulation of signing up. If they want to put you music in an ad or make a compilation cd they can.

I agree, best advice is to host your own site...the pros outweigh the cons by far.

Another reason why to keep your music offline and grind your music IN PERSON.....just like how it was done years ago.....
