"Discover Unexplored Beats with SoundCloud's Intuitive Interface"
What do you like best about SoundCloud?

I love SoundCloud for its clean, easy-to-use interface, which makes my music distribution and exploration experiences seamless. The platform excels in offering access to a vibrant community centered around experimental and edgy music that hasn't been published in traditional formats. SoundCloud stands out by providing a space where popular musicians who are more experimental, such as DJs with extraordinary sets, can share their work, making it unique in comparison to other platforms. It allows me to dive into the depths of offbeat, low-fidelity music that is valuable to both creators and listeners who seek something different from the polished sounds often dominating the industry. What further enhances its appeal is its role as a hub for creators who are deeply embedded in authentic music creation environments, such as clubs and live performances. I appreciate discovering artists like Crispy and Blod, whose exceptional electronic music and low-fidelity sets are easily accessible. Additionally, the platform's ease of setup and intuitive nature are key positives, enabling me to concentrate on the creative side rather than logistical hurdles.

What do you dislike about SoundCloud?

I find it problematic that some artists have migrated from SoundCloud to newer platforms like MixCloud, requiring me to switch between various portals. This fragmentation in music distribution is inconvenient. I also dislike the fragmented nature of cataloging or indexing music as an official entry. Different companies offer unique methods, leading to a lack of standardization. This complexity in publishing codes and indexing can be improved by integrating these processes into a single system. It would be beneficial if SoundCloud could facilitate a unified platform for music sharing, potentially embracing newer technologies like web3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Soundcloud is the ultimate platform for discovery and to connect with artists"
What do you like best about SoundCloud?

SoundCloud is a great platform for music discovery especially for independent artists. There is a diverse range of content and a strong community of artists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SoundCloud?

It is excellent for independent music, however, there is an overwhelming amount of low quality audio and frequent ads with the free tier. There is a great deal of content that I would consider spam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Display screens"
What do you like best about SoundCloud?

It's great for us to be able to display information for our patients with various support groups or general information on health. We love having full control over what we add, when we want to add it. Easy to install and use. We have the screens on all day every day. Very easy to set up. no fuss adding it to the network or the screens especially when adding a new screen. I haven't had to call customer support not once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SoundCloud?

Sometimes the screens go off line but i think thats more a network issue our end Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great platform for discovering new music and sharing your own!!"
What do you like best about SoundCloud?

I love the way SoundCloud connects independent artists with a global audience. The platform allows musicians to share their tracks easily without needing a label. The discovery algorithm is great for finding new and underground music that isn’t available on mainstream streaming services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SoundCloud?

The free version has ads that can sometimes be intrusive. Also, the sound quality is not always the best compared to other streaming platforms. While the premium version is good, it could offer more exclusive features to make it more competitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I use Soundcloud as a place to release music I've written and pieces I have mastered."
What do you like best about SoundCloud?

It is relatively easy to use, until they change stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SoundCloud?

Changes in the algorithm affect audience. I worked hard for years to get 17,000 + plays in 2023. 2024 dropped to 10,000. I had dead months for no reason. Hard to understand new systems, which were rolled out gradually.Been contacted by several 'record company execs.' Yeah. Right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Soundcloud: My Go-To Music Discovery and Creative Companion"
What do you like best about SoundCloud?

The Soundcloud app is excellent and has become an indispensable tool for me. I use it both to discover new music and to find rhythms that complement my personal videos and marketing projects. Its extensive catalog of songs and artists allows me to explore a variety of genres and styles, making each search session exciting.

One of the features I value most about Soundcloud is its user-friendliness. The interface is intuitive and enables smooth navigation, making it easy to search for specific tracks or discover new artists. Additionally, the app offers customization options, such as creating playlists and following my favorite artists to stay updated on their latest releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SoundCloud?

I have some critiques about Soundcloud. Firstly, not all the tracks I search for can be found on the platform, which can be frustrating. Additionally, I've noticed that the quality of some tracks is quite low, which negatively impacts my listening experience. Lastly, I find the interface of the mobile app to be a bit complicated to use, so I often opt for the web version, which I find more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SoundCloud is the best music streaming service perfect for the moment!"
What do you like best about SoundCloud?

The platform is commendable because it empowers infamous and upcoming music artists to showcase genuine artwork to myriads of fan base who may love their work.

I love their flagship accelerator program that enables iconic music artists to collaborate and feature the upcoming stars in the music industry even with the opportunity to upload free music works to attract promotions, sponsorship deal or endorsement contracts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SoundCloud?

There is really no perfect way for the listeners to verify the true content originality of unfamiliar music brands that list for listeners attention. Some lyrics and sounds happen to be copycats of music that have been listened to over and over before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Discovering new music with SoundCloud."
What do you like best about SoundCloud?

Using SoundCloud, not only can I listen to songs that I know and love, but I can also discover new artists and tracks. SoundCloud is a website and application that makes it easy for independent artists to upload their music in the hopes of garnering an audience. Through which, I have found a number of excellent tracks, and niche sounds that I thoroughly enjoy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SoundCloud?

When initially using SoundCloud's Discover page, I found that there was a lot to take in before getting used to the website layout. Although, this has become easy to navigate having used SoundCloud for quite some time now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
