Same here. I pay for the subscription so I can cache mixes I find, if I lose those it's gonna be pretty devastating.
Wouldn't be impossible to go rip them off the internet somewhere else but would require a lot of extra work etc.
Soundcloud should have stuck with boosting amateurs rather than play for the big guys and funded with subscriptions from the bottom up in my opinion. Leave the professional track streaming to spotify, this was youtube for sounds, a wild west just short of Grooveshark bootleg territory. Deep down, we know the ride is coming to an end and when soundcloud retires it will be missed.
