Research direction

The report names no repository files, tests, or API entry point. Start by determining whether the public API exposes the liked-track and repost totals and lists described, then reproduce the mismatch and establish the expected behavior for deleted or private items before defining completion.

Description

bug

I am experiencing a problem with SoundCloud where the total number of liked tracks displayed (195) does not match the number of visible liked tracks on my Likes page (only 22 tracks are shown). Similarly, the total number of reposts also appears to include hidden or invisible reposts that do not show up in the reposts list.

It seems like there are "invisible" liked tracks and reposts that do not appear in the lists but still count towards the totals.

Possible reasons could be:

Some liked tracks or reposted tracks have been deleted or made private by their owners, so they are no longer visible but still counted.

Cached or outdated data causing the total counts to be incorrect.

A bug in the SoundCloud interface or API that results in mismatched like and repost counts.

There is currently no way to see or remove these invisible liked tracks or reposts from my account.

Request:

Please provide a way to:

View the complete and accurate list of all liked tracks and reposts, including those that are private or deleted.

Remove or unlike/unrepost tracks that do not appear in the visible lists to properly synchronize the counts.

This issue affects usability and causes confusion about the actual number of liked tracks and reposts.

Thank you!
