SoundCloud freaks are well aware of the recent changes in SoundCloud application. Just in case you have no idea about the changes, let us give you a flashback. The biggest online music hub SoundCloud offers a variety of features to enhance the music experience of its users. One of the greatest features in SoundCloud’s Android application was music caching, which cached the played songs and users were able to listen those songs even without internet later on. The cache size was changeable, so users only had to play a song once in order to listen to it without internet connectivity later. This feature was widely used by SoundCloud users and was appreciated as well. In the recent updates, in order to improve SoundCloud for Android, SoundCloud developers took this feature off from the application. SoundCloud doesn’t offer music caching anymore. This means you can’t play your favorite tracks on SoundCloud if you have no internet connectivity.
This feature became pretty handy not only when you have no internet, but it also saved storage on devices as users never had to save the songs on their phone’s internet storage. They were always able to play it from the SoundCloud application. After SoundCloud’s removal of music caching features, many loyal SoundClouders moved to migrated to music services like Spotify and others, but not everyone can switch to these platform as these are paid unlike SoundCloud. If you’re now thinking to migrate from SoundCloud, we may have a reason here to stop you and make you stick to SoundCloud for a while.
