			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SoundCloud gets cheaper. The new minimal paid account is now 29US$ per year. Lots of changes for the previous PRO users, since there are <a href="http://soundcloud.com/premium">5 account types</a> now (they are called PREMIUM Users as of today). My <a href="http://soundcloud.com">current account</a> - previously PRO LITE - has now changed to a PREMIUM SOLO account. They changed the counting of uploads from file counts to total length in minutes. Long-time PRO users got a mail yesterday, were they were given 60minutes extra as a gift (<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">although this "gift" does not really show up in the upload panel, yet</span> <strong>UPDATE</strong>: after mailing with soundcloud this seems to work as announced now. I got 12hrs 9min). <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-158" title="soundcloud-uploader-after-update" src="http://www.nanofunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/soundcloud-uploader-after-update.png" alt="soundcloud-uploader-after-update" width="424" height="148" /> Read more about all the changes in the article detail.<br />
<span id="more-157"></span></p>
<p>2 new Player Widgets are available. With the new "Artwork" and "Mini" Players, this makes a total of <a href="http://soundcloud.com/tour/widgets">3 available Player Widgets</a> for SoundCloud.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-159" title="soundcloud_player_widgets" src="http://www.nanofunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/soundcloud_player_widgets.png" alt="soundcloud_player_widgets" width="316" height="483" /></p>
<p>While the Artwork Player is a great way to showcase album art in your SoundCloud tracks, the Minimal Player is great for embedding where there is not much space available. All in all, the two new Widget options are giving you more options on how to feature your tracks without having the usual SoundCloud look, that is the same on all sites using it (except color adaptions, which were possible before).</p>
<p><a href="http://soundcloud.com/tour/stats">Stats</a> have been totally revamped: <a href="http://a1.soundcloud.com/images/tour/pages/stats-1-big.jpg?taylor?d03ba4">Who</a>, <a href="http://a1.soundcloud.com/images/tour/pages/stats-2-big.jpg?taylor?d03ba4">What</a>, <a href="http://a1.soundcloud.com/images/tour/pages/stats-3-big.jpg?taylor?d03ba4">When</a>, <a href="http://a1.soundcloud.com/images/tour/pages/stats-4-big.jpg?taylor?d03ba4">Which</a> and  <a href="http://a1.soundcloud.com/images/tour/pages/stats-5-big.jpg?taylor?d03ba4">Where</a> can be found out for your Tracks now - but - depending on your account type. Full Stats are only available for Business PRO users, while the other accounts have different detail levels. The difference from the Premium SOLO to the full stats seem to be, that embedded, linked or posted tracks are not statistically tracked.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-160" title="soundcloud-stats-differences" src="http://www.nanofunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/soundcloud-stats-differences.png" alt="soundcloud-stats-differences" width="822" height="26" /></p>
<p>The sharing was also reworked, here's the quote from the official sendout: <em>"Much asked for - here it is: private track sharing via secret link. Simply upload a track or set, generate a private link for it, then quickly share via email or IM. Plus with newly the added privacy options, you can now control if you want people to comment or your tracks or not, hide the stats around your track and make comments only visible to yourself. Perfect for when you're doing promo or need to keep the number of recipients private."</em></p>
<p>Finally, there are 2 Desktop uploading apps available as of today: "<a href="http://soundcloud.cmail4.com/t/y/l/ujndy/kiikwdut/yh">Scup</a> and <a href="http://soundcloud.cmail4.com/t/y/l/ujndy/kiikwdut/yk">CloudPost</a> are two nice little apps that let you upload your tracks and sets to SoundCloud right from your desktop". And "one more thing": the <a href="http://soundcloud.cmail4.com/t/y/l/ujndy/kiikwdut/tr">iPhone App for SoundCloud</a> which can be downloaded for €0,79 or $0,99.  Detailed reviews of all the apps right after I tested them.</p>
<p>Cheers and happy uploading.</p>
