SoundCloud is one of my favorite sites to use because it’s very user-friendly. The website itself is well-designed and nice to look at, I personally looking at the cover art the artist chooses for a song just because if catches my eye I’m very likely to check out the music.

One of my favorite features about this website is the “Explore” section. It’s basically a feed of the music that is trending at the moment. You can choose to view trending songs, trending artists, trending genres, etc.

Another feature I find extremely useful while browsing through SoundCloud is the fact that I can listen to a song consistently and it won’t stop playing or restart if I click on a user’s profile or page, or if I’m searching for something. According to the song one’s listening to, whatever song is next on the feed will play automatically and I think that’s a great way to discover new music if you don’t want to search for it yourself. Also, when searching for a specific artist, I love that it shows me the most trending/popular songs of that searched artist.

    I love listening to music and have listened to Sound Cloud before, but usually use Spotify. I also really enjoy looking at the album covers different artists choose to use.

    I love music, but I have only been to sound cloud from a third party site. I usually never veer from my 3 music sites pandora, spotify, and youtube. So I will definitely have to check it out firsthand.

    I love that SoundCloud promotes creativity by making it so simple to put your talent out there. To me, t’s one of, if not the easiest way for people to keep up with your music. Other than the explore feature, I really like that you can download songs for free

    I love the platform that soundcloud allows for anyone that uses audio, not just music people. I save my radio work on my soundcloud so it is readily available if I need it. Outside of that I love how so many artists, atleast for the music I listen to give out music for free on soundcloud.
