I agree about Search. They need to completely redo the algorithms or whatever mojo it takes to get that to work. I still think the iPhone app and audio players are terrific. Concerning the colors you should start a request at Get Satisfaction: click here

- the iphone app is a solution to a problem i do not have….
- the mini player cant/doesn’t access sets/multiple tracks
- the artwork layer is ok but how come i can’t even customise any of the players as much as eg the vimeo embed player? come on SoudnCloud, you can only customise ONE colour? what about the background colour? If you want me to rely on embedding soundcloud into a pre-existing site design then at least allow me to control the basics…
- you still cant search for a 3 letter word!?? i can use google but how hard is it?
try searching for ‘dub’ sometime… zero results… good grief!

bring on version 5.0, then things will get interesting….

sorry to rain on your/their parade but small mercies etc….

yeh this is a really nice update IMO – I especially like the ‘send private e-mail’ option, very handy if you want to show a proto of a song to someone who hasnt a Soundcloud account yet…

Oliver – nice overview. Seems like there’s no new killer feature – but a lot of small updates that add up.

The third-party iPhone apps that save to SoundCloud are an interesting new development, too.
