SoundCloud Review

SoundCloud is the best music streaming website to stay on top of new and upcoming artists. Users from around the globe can upload their own audio files and songs for you to listen to at no cost.

Once you start playing something, you can navigate around the website but still control the playback from the pop-up media player always shown at the bottom of the page. As you use SoundCloud more, it will find suggestions based on what you're listening to.

In addition to being used through a web browser, SoundCloud works via mobile apps for Android and iOS. See the SoundCloud Mobile App page for download links.

Our Thoughts on SoundCloud

SoundCloud is a really neat idea because it provides a place for new artists to share their music, but also for the rest of us to find new and interesting sounds and songs to stream.

We really enjoy using the mobile app. Listening, searching, and saving music is a breeze. There are only a few buttons at the bottom of the screen for finding your home page, streaming new music, searching for tracks, and accessing your playlists.

When logged in, the home page shows the latest posts made by the people you're following, which is a great way to start using the site because you can instantly see updates from the people you're interested in.
