Music Streaming on SoundCloud

https://soundcloud.com/stream

Above is a link to the music and audio streaming site soundcloud.com. This site allows users to make their own accounts, subscribe to artists and music producers and follow the stream of content that they post. SoundCloud is also used as a vehicle for emerging musicians to showcase and spread their own original content leading to commercial success. The site also allows users to like, comment and repost content on to their own personal streams, serving as a way for different songs and artists to go viral through reposts as well as the trending charts that are offered by the site.

I personally find the site very useful and interesting as it allows users to customize their own feeds through following different artists. Having a personalized feed allows one to have a constant stream of new music and is a fantastic way to stay up to date with the artists that they like. Soundcloud also offers users a chance to explore new music genres and artists without having to purchase an album or a single that they are not sure if they will enjoy.

SoundCloud offers an excellent user interface for users and artists to post and listen to new content, which is definitely a factor into its popularity with songs getting hundreds of millions of plays off of the platform. SoundCloud is a fantastic way for artists to get exposure and make money through the sites royalty program, the site also allows fans a way to follow and connect with their favourite artists, making SoundCloud one of the top streaming services on the internet while staying cost free.
