Hey folks, I have an app update to share!

v1.4 of Flowvi.be is now available on the App Store and it lets you import public playlists from Spotify and SoundCloud.

Imported playlists are converted into mood takes so you can use them as the basis for new playlists... or just save them to your Apple Music library.

#SoundCloud announced a new subscription tier for creators where they can keep 100% of all royalties, including from external services like #TikTok and #YouTube, print on-demand vinyls of music, and keep all profits from merch sales.

I’m not versed in this side of the music biz but does this sound like a wow, or is there some sneaky shenanigans going on?

Sure seems like a wow.

Well it's #BandcampFriday - I don't have a track out today but would appreciate a listen to my music here on Bandcamp:

https://samanthajanesmith.bandcamp.com/

It's also available on #Mirlo, #bandwagonfm and #soundcloud.

Links: https://samantha-j-smith.kit.com/landing

If you don't like my music, then do find an independent musician you do like and buy their music. Today they get the full value of purchases.

Remember also that one purchase is better than a thousand streams.

There is also a new NHAM mixtape out: @mixtape

Hugs, Sammi

I am thinking about leaving #soundcloud and moving to something else. Does anyone have recommendations for a #funkwhale instance? There isn’t a de facto default instance like with mastodon, right?

Not a very satisfying response.

A screenshot of an email from the SoundCloud Trust & Safety team, dated May 12, 2025:

Hi there,
 
Thank you for your question about the “Grants of Licence” section in our Terms of Use.
 
While our Terms currently grant us the right to use uploaded content for purposes such as AI training, we want to clarify that SoundCloud has never used any artist content to train AI models, nor do we develop AI tools or allow third parties to scrape or use SoundCloud-hosted content for AI training purposes. In fact, we’ve implemented a “no AI” tag across our site to reinforce that restriction.
 
At this time, there is no opt-out mechanism available. However, if we were to consider using content in this way in the future, we recognize the importance of transparency and user choice, and would carefully evaluate how best to give users control, including the possibility of an opt-out.
 
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions or concerns.
 
Best regards,
SoundCloud Trust & Safety Team

And another update from SoundCloud support:

"With our upcoming Terms of Use update, SoundCloud will not use your content to train generative AI models unless you’ve explicitly given consent via an opt-in mechanism.

That means by default, your content will not be used for AI training, so no action is required on your part to protect your content."

And they linked to a letter from their CEO.

https://press.soundcloud.com/249951-new-campaign-may-14-2025

"SoundCloud has never used artist content to train AI models. Not for music creation. Not for large language models. Not for anything that tries to mimic or replace your work."
