Fixing Release Date Issues for Tracks and Playlists on SoundCloud

Why is the scheduled release date wrong, and how can users adjust it using the time zone calculator?

If your scheduled release date appears wrong or keeps changing, it's because SoundCloud operates in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). To ensure your release is scheduled correctly:

  • Use the Time Zone Calculator: To align your desired release time with GMT, use a time zone calculator. Input your local time to find the corresponding GMT time.
  • Adjust the Time in the Scheduling Interface: Once you’ve calculated the correct GMT time, go to the SoundCloud scheduling interface and input this GMT value as your release time. This will prevent the release date from appearing incorrectly.

What tips can help users schedule releases to align with global audience time zones?

To maximize the impact of your release, consider the following tips:

  • Schedule According to Key Time Zones: If you have a global audience, use the time zone calculator to find the best release time that aligns with peak activity hours in major time zones like GMT, EST, and PST.
  • Plan for Multiple Time Zones: If your audience spans different regions, consider scheduling your release at a time that works well for most of your listeners, or plan staggered releases to target specific regions effectively.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your scheduled release on SoundCloud aligns correctly with your intended release time, regardless of your local time zone.
