It has come to our attention in recent weeks that some of you have had trouble getting SoundCloud tracks into your BandPage Profile. After some investigating we’ve discovered that there is a common misunderstanding amongst many of you BandPagers so we are here to help clarify a few things. First and foremost,uploading a track from your computer and adding tracks from SoundCloud are essentially the same thing. Both processes require that you sync your BandPage Profile to a SoundCloud account. However, the processes for doing so are a bit different.
Adding Tracks From SoundCloud:
When you click to add tracks from your SoundCloud account, you must first go through the process of syncing an existing SoundCloud account to your BandPage Profile. If you haven’t already sync’ed your SoundCloud account, you will be asked to log into SoundCloud using your SoundCloud credentials. Once you have logged in, the list of the tracks currently in your SoundCloud library will pop up. If there are tracks that aren’t already in your BandPage profile, you will have the ability to add them here. Adding new tracks is as simple as clicking the check boxes next to the tracks you would like to add. Once you have finished selecting your tracks, click “Next” and you are good to go!
Uploading Tracks From Your Computer:
When you click to upload from your computer, it technically still requires you to connect to your SoundCloud account. We provide this option as a way for you to set up a SoundCloud account quickly and easily – essentially skipping the step of having to go to SoundCloud.com first. This is helpful for those musicians that don’t yet have a SoundCloud account. By adding a track via your computer, you are able to quickly create a SoundCloud Account and immediately starting add tracks to your BandPage Profile.
It is important to remember that your BandPage Profile can only be connected to one SoundCloud account at a time. If you try to upload from your computer when you have already added tracks from your SoundCloud account, it won’t work. Similarly, if you try to connect to a SoundCloud account when you have already uploaded from your computer, this won’t work either. You need to either consolidate your music to one SoundCloud account, or disconnect the current account so that you can connect to the new one created by uploading from your computer. If you wish to disconnect or reset your SoundCloud account, you can learn how from this helpful article in our Help Center.
