How Do I Change a Soundcloud Track from Private to Public?
SoundCloud users can easily change the privacy settings for a single track or multiple tracks by editing the privacy settings. Users have the option to set a track or tracks as private, public, or scheduled. A scheduled track will change settings on a specified date that the user sets. Users can change the settings on the website or by using the mobile app.
SoundCloud users who want to change the privacy settings on their account can access the SoundCloud site to make these changes. You can make your tracks public, private, or scheduled. Changing the privacy settings on one, several, or all tracks is just as easy.
The Steps
Users should go to the edit page and choose private, public, or scheduled as a setting on the Basic Info page. Simply select the track or tracks you want to edit, select Edit Tracks, and choose privacy tags from the menu. Once you've opened the privacy tags menu, select the privacy setting for individual tracks or for a group of tracks. Private tracks are only visible to the user, whereas public tracks are visible to everyone. Users can schedule a track to change privacy settings at a later date by choosing the schedule option.
A Single Track
SoundCloud users can easily change their privacy settings by logging into their account and selecting the track they want to edit. Users should keep in mind that private tracks aren't searchable within SoundCloud. Users have the option to set a private track to public or schedule a track to go public on a specific date; however, the schedule option is only available to Pro Unlimited users.
Multiple Tracks
SoundCloud users can change the privacy settings for a specific track, several tracks, or all of their Soundcloud tracks. Users who want to change the privacy settings for more than one track should visit the track page and choose the setting of their choice.
Use the SoundCloud App
Users can also download the SoundCloud app and change their privacy settings through the app. On the mobile app, go to the edit section and make changes by selecting the option to change private tracks by selecting the option to "make tracks public."
