About SoundCloud
SoundCloud is an audio streaming platform where creators upload tracks, mixes, podcasts, and demos directly to their own profile. Listeners can stream, like, comment on specific moments in a track, and follow artists they discover.
The catalog blends mainstream releases with a deep pool of independent and unreleased music, including DJ sets, remixes, beat tapes, and bedroom recordings that often don't appear on other services. Comments anchored to a waveform timestamp give it a social feel that is unusual among streaming apps.
SoundCloud is widely used by emerging artists to publish music quickly, by DJs to share long-form mixes, and by listeners looking for tracks outside major-label catalogs. Free listening is supported by ads, and paid Go and Go+ tiers add offline listening and an expanded licensed catalog.
