How to unsubscribe from SoundCloud emails

A SoundCloud unsubscribe is fast via the notification settings at soundcloud.com/settings/notifications. SoundCloud emails fall into two buckets: per-action notifications (someone followed you, liked a track, commented) and platform digests (weekly Discover, recommendations, partner offers). The notification page exposes both with separate toggles for Email, Push, and In-app. Below covers the web method, the in-email link, and how to opt out across the SoundCloud mobile app.

Method 1: SoundCloud notification settings on web

  1. Sign in at soundcloud.com.
  2. Open soundcloud.com/settings/notifications directly, or navigate via avatar → Settings → Notifications.
  3. You will see categories in rows with Email, Push, and In-app columns. Switch off every Email toggle.
  4. Pay attention to Newsletter and Recommendations at the top - those drive the bulk of marketing volume.
  5. Save.

Method 2: SoundCloud mobile app

  1. Open the app and tap your profile avatar.
  2. Choose Settings.
  3. Tap Notifications.
  4. Disable the Email column under each category. Web and mobile sync, so once is enough.

Method 3: in-email Unsubscribe link

Every SoundCloud email has a footer Unsubscribe link. Signed with a token, no login required, but only opts you out of that single category. Gmail and Apple Mail expose SoundCloud's List-Unsubscribe header as a top-of-message Unsubscribe button - the fastest option for killing a single category.

Method 4: bulk opt-out across music and audio platforms

SoundCloud, Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, Beatport, and Mixcloud all email aggressively whenever an artist you follow releases new content or runs a fan-only promo. ClearMyInbox scans your inbox and lets you opt out of all of them at once.

Per-artist email overrides

SoundCloud allows fans to enable email alerts for specific artists. If you do not see global emails stop after disabling the categories above, check whether you have a per-artist override. Open the artist profile, click the bell icon under their banner, and clear any email-related toggle. There is no global list of overrides - you have to revisit each followed artist.

Frequently asked questions

Where are SoundCloud email notifications managed?

Sign in at soundcloud.com/settings/notifications. The page shows every category - New followers, Likes, Reposts, Comments, Direct messages, Newsletter, Recommendations - with an Email toggle each.

How do I stop the SoundCloud weekly Discover email?

The weekly Discover roundup is under Newsletter on the notifications page. Switch the Email toggle off. It is separate from per-action notifications.

Does unsubscribing affect SoundCloud Go or Go+ billing?

No. Email opt-out and SoundCloud Go subscription are separate. To cancel Go or Go+, open Settings → Subscription and choose Cancel.

Can I unsubscribe without an account?

Yes. Footer Unsubscribe link in any SoundCloud email works without a login - signed to your email, opts you out of the single category that delivered the email.

Why am I still getting SoundCloud emails for an artist I no longer follow?

You may still be subscribed to that artist as a fan even if you unfollowed. Open the artist page and click Following, then choose Not Following. New track notifications stop.
