Conversions and Track scraping

Post by Wickedbeets545 »

Hey Martin!

So I brought this up before but we never really got to a solution: I'm having problems getting daily conversions. They're just not recording every day and I really want to be able to create an accurate report.

Also- I'm looking to scape and post tracks for my accounts, how would I go about doing that? I searched through all the tabs but the only thing I found was scraping urls of tracks not the actual track itself. I essentially need to download the tracks then be able to mass post them across accounts.


Thanks in advance!

Ryan

you cannot. The tracks are hashed, so soundcloud knows if you are uploading an existing track.

You can get around this by adding some bytes here and there but the app doesn't provide this functionality nor to download tracks



I'll take a look into conversion

only thing I can think of is that the matching isn't good enough

doesn't match

so have improved that, although the matches should still work anyway but...
