Soundcloud Closing? Backup Your Tracks Before It Disappears!
### Are you using [SoundCloud](https://soundcloud.com/)? 
<p>

If you're one of its **175 million users**, you may want to download your library before it's forever gone.

image from [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-WPrRk6PL4)</center>

The future of the audio streaming service is uncertain after laying off almost [half of its staff and closing its San Francisco and London Offices](https://techcrunch.com/2017/07/06/soundcloud-the-youtube-for-audio-cuts-173-jobs-closes-san-francisco-london-offices/).

A move that according to some sources, is only enough to buy a [little time](https://techcrunch.com/2017/07/12/soundshroud/).

So if that's the case, you should go to your soundcloud account asap and download the tracks that **you can**. Unfortunately, you can't save every track.

**CNET** provided the [tedious process](https://www.cnet.com/how-to/back-up-your-soundcloud-account-before-it-disappears/) on how to backup your account.

Oh yikes, I hadn't heard the news! That's not good because most of the music we use for our YouTube travel vlog comes from there 😬

Ahh crap, I keep most of my voice acting reels on there. I've also been using it for one of my blogs...  Thanks for the heads up :/ Know any similar service with embedding tools? I can use YouTube if need be, but for just audio... bleh.

did a quick googling and  found this http://hiphopspeakeasy.com/2017/02/alternatives-soundcloud-ultimate-guide/ . Clyp.it or mixcloud sounds good for your need. And yeah, youtube if left without a choice. :)

I heard about the offices in San Francisco! You think its really possible they would shut down something as large as soundcloud? Artists make good money from it

I hope not. I hope they get the funding they need to keep on going.  And they should find a better way to monetize the platform.

They need to use a decentralized storage system to cut costs. Too bad I really like soundcloud thanks for the heads up. I have some old tracks on their I don't want to loose.

Decentralized storage is an option they should probably consider. I hope that they survive.
