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.

What problems is SoundCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

SoundCloud allows independent artists to reach a wider audience without relying on record labels. It provides a platform for discovering fresh, underground music that is not available on mainstream services.

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?

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.

What problems is SoundCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Look at the purpose drop down above. I use it to host my music. Not podcasting. No other option listed. That's the kind of sloppyness that occurs. I think a lot of people buy clicks, or have in the past. I don't want purchased clicks, I want genuine feedback or interest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

What problems is SoundCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Soundcloud provides me with a valuable tool to search for and discover new musical inspiration. Through its extensive catalog of songs and artists, I have the opportunity to explore diverse genres and styles that consistently ignite my creativity and inspire me in my musical and creative projects.

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.

What problems is SoundCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

SoundCloud is doing amazing job by allowing us list our new music productions without the hassles of paying for listings or high subscription charge.

It is a great platform that has helped attract interested promoters for a few single hit tracks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

What problems is SoundCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

SoundCloud helps solve the problem of trying to find new songs. With a plethora of tracks being uploaded every day, there is always something new to listen to; SoundCloud makes it easier to find your listening niche. Working with music, I very much enjoy finding new tracks and artists to follow and listen to, which makes SoundCloud an excellent music streaming platform for me.

What do you like best about SoundCloud?

this is helpful for sending a link of music I loaded up to soundcloud to venues or to other label and industry contacts. Much better to do that than to send an attachment to avoid pissing people off by clogging their email. It is also a decent streaming service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SoundCloud?

Other streaming platforms sometimes pay better per stream and some get way more organic traffic than soundcloud. But it has a decent audio player you can embed in websites and it is the standard for sending links to contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SoundCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use soundcloud to host my music and recordings to send links to providers and I embed on my website to play music for visitors. My business has increased every year. I am unsure how much of this soundcloud contributed to. But it is helpful for sending links to labels and providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
