Organize your SoundCloud likes as a DJ

Why the likes list fails as a library

SoundCloud's likes feed is a single reverse-chronological stream. It does not tell you which tracks are downloadable, which you meant to buy, or which are 60-minute mixes. The moment you heart more than a handful of tracks a week, the list outgrows your memory — and a track you cannot find on Friday night may as well not exist.

The triage that works

Every hearted track needs exactly one of five decisions:

• Got it free — native SoundCloud download enabled. Grab it now.
• Action required — free, but behind a fan gate (Hypeddit, ToneDen). Complete the gate, collect the file.
• Worth buying — released on Beatport, Bandcamp or iTunes. Add to cart.
• Listen back — a mix or radio show. Schedule it, do not crate it.
• Manual review — genuinely ambiguous. The pile to keep as small as possible.

Doing this by hand means opening every track and reading its description. That is the bottleneck sounddigr removes: connect your account and it classifies every like into these five categories automatically, with the right action attached — a download button, a gate run, or a direct store link.

Process in bulk, or curate track by track

Backlog mode: work a whole category at once — collect every free download, run every gate, open every store page. Curate mode: preview each track with its waveform and decide deliberately. Most DJs blast the backlog once, then curate the fresh hearts weekly.

Keep it weekly

The system only works if triage is cheaper than hearting. Ten minutes a week with the backlog at zero means every track you liked is either in your crate, in your cart, or queued for a listen — before you forget why you hearted it.

sounddigr does all of this automatically from the tracks you have already hearted.
