I agree - I only use Soundcloud for listening back to radio shows (Specifically Rinse FM. I figured that since I listen to them so often, I could save money by paying for Soundcloud Go rather than paying more for extra mobile data.

The mobile app needs a lot of work, but the saving songs and offline playback (presumably these were the latest things developed on the app) are the slickest and most refined parts of the app.

Even for sets and mixes I think Mixcloud is way ahead of Soundcloud. Unfortunately I constantly see significantly less engagement for my content over there.

What does "caching" mean here?

He means you can save them for offline playback. A 2-hour mix is around 100mb for me. If you're listening to music every day, then it adds up pretty fast.

why not download the mixes and upload them to Google Music? Now you have mixes and caching for free.
