SoundCloud
Upload, promote, and share audio
SoundCloud is an online audio and music-sharing website allowing podcasters and music creators to create, upload, market, share, and monetize their audio productions.
SoundCloud is home to over 265 million music tracks. It offers an audio distribution platform with a digital signal processor, enabling listeners to search, discover, and stream songs, tracks, and music playlists by genre.
For creators, SoundCloud offers different plans and unfolds features and tools accordingly. SoundCloud Basic lets you upload three hours of audio and access play counts and likes. Alternatively, SoundCloud Pro Unlimited offers unlimited audio uploads, monetization opportunities, and the ability to distribute tracks across other platforms.
You can drag and drop files into the upload box or choose files to upload from your computer. The privacy settings allow you to make your songs "public" or "private." You can use this feature to make your songs and uploads available to only a paying audience to monetize your audio or music creations.
You can also enable downloads for your track and let your audience modify track information on SoundCloud. For example, this feature can allow listeners to edit your soundtracks and name them conveniently.
Listeners can sign up for SoundCloud and listen to millions of songs, with the option to download the songs. SoundCloud’s music streaming service offers a high-quality streaming format encoded in 256kbps AAC, expected of a top-tier music app.
SoundCloud also enables listeners to create their playlists easily. You can easily create and add songs to your playlist by clicking the "More" button, then "Add to playlist." By creating playlists, you can compile your favorite songs for easy listening.
Listeners can use the search bar to look for artists worldwide, song titles, bands, tracks, and podcasts and save music or podcast episodes so they can listen offline. As a listener, you can comment, like, and repost tracks you like.
The "Follow" button under an artist's name will let you know when new tracks, playlists, or reposts are released. New releases will appear in your "Stream" tab alongside the tracks you upload and repost. Your likes and playlists live in the "Library" tab, so you can always easily revisit them.
