Could you try to find a couple of tracks that you liked, but that do not show up in VirtualDJ?
It appears that labels/artists have to approve their tracks for use with Go+ in other apps, and this was still an ongoing process a while back, which may exclude some tracks from showing up at this time.


Ok. I see I now have 900 tracks in the liked folder. However, when I asked the question about limitation of number of tracks to VDJ tech support this is what I got:

"Hello,

VDJ has a listing limit for online playlists and searches at about 200 results so this is why you will not see 1k of listing for playlists. Perhaps you might consider a smaller catalog system for sound cloud while keeping this in mind."

Can you imagine having to UNlike 800 tracks? How do you even do that?

I checked the files in the liked folder: they're about 256 KBPS. When I asked someone else how they sounded, the person said they sounded similar to cassette quality. The highs and lows are definitely lacking.

Songs from playlist are skipped in automix. They have a purple dot in the music note on the left of the song.

You only need to post once. You've already posted about this and got a response.

Make sure your VirtualDJ software is up to date (Always..)
And if it is, right-click the "Online Music" folder, and choose "Show: Soundcloud" ..

What's the latest on the Soundcloud integration with VDJ? I tried it over a year ago and was UNimpressed (see above).

Are the tracks still lo-fi?
Is there a limit on tracks that can be played?
Anything new? upgrades?

Thanks.

Try it again yourself, I had a SoundCloud Go+ for a month just to see what could be done and the sound quality was fantastic to my ears, I didn't have any limits on my choice of tracks either

What I didn't realise until today was that SoundCloud Go+ actually integrates licensed music from major labels, not just user uploaded content.

Whether the front end is as user friendy as Spotify though, I'm not so sure.

No limits, high-quality audio, includes lots of labels official releases, can be used offline (new) etc.

Well I signed up for a trial. The search in VDJ is awful!

For example, a search for Diana Ross (whose library is on the service) with just Artist enabled in search options, returns piles of junk mainly with 'diana ross' in the Title field.

Out of all the junk results, just four tracks are actually by Diana Ross, and they're all remixes from other people's pages.

Marvin Gaye faired slightly better, but still too many garbage results.

The SoundCloud site allows you to select Go+ results only. Can this not be an option in VDJ?

Might be possible to add that option..

SoundCloud is perhaps not the provider for main stream and oldies content as much though.
It has tons and tons of house, dance, edm, bootlegs and remixes.

But perhaps not the strongest on backcatalog mainstream stuff.

Each content provider have their pro & cons. Beatport would perhaps also be one more for house/dance djs
While BeatSource claims to be the mainstream djs choice, as well as iDJPool having quite a bit.
(and obviously Tidal and Deezer has tons of top 40 stuff)

As I said in my earlier comment, all the mainstream back catalogue content is on SoundCloud, for Go+ and above.

In that respect, it's now similar to Spotify, Deezer etc. for content - but it needs a nicer UX. The front end is very limited compared to the most popular consumer sites.

Navigation is the word I was looking for.

I don't understand why we need a Go+ account to play Soundcloud tracks from their API with VirtualDJ but it still wont let us play the tracks marked with Go+? Seems counter intuitive and a bit.... scammy. Sorry.

Unless I am missing something??
