I absolutely love Soundcloud and also use it daily - I am listening to it right now - but it&#x27;s an absolute disgrace how little they&#x27;ve done to improve the platform.  It seems like such a total waste of potential.<p>The issues with the UI&#x2F;UX are obvious and there are clear ways to improve on the situation.  A number of people have done unsolicited Soundcloud redesigns, but there was an excellent one in December 2014 that is worth taking a look at:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;adventures-in-consumer-technology&#x2F;redesigning-soundcloud-d52b4baf17a4#.280qdu5d1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;adventures-in-consumer-technology&#x2F;redesig...</a><p>In addition to showcasing a beautiful, thoughtful redesign, this post makes a series of criticisms that are both justified and <i>still</i> in urgent need of rectification.  For example, in the stream:<p>* It’s hard to discern which song is playing.<p>* Only three to five songs are visible at once.<p>* The Stream doesn’t automatically scroll.<p>* The avatars [of commenters] on the waveform are virtually meaningless.<p>* Reloading the Stream is slow and clunky.<p>I would really hate to lose Soundcloud, as a long time fan of electronic music (going on 20 years now!) it&#x27;s been a big part of my life for years now and I love it.
