Sometimes the greatest artists start can be found in the least expected places. This is what makes this program so great. It’s easy to discover new artists with little effort. With some luck, you’ll find just what you’re looking for.

Music to your ears

Come together with fellow artists and fans in SoundCloud, a platform for new musicians to show off their new sounds.

Music has been around since the dawn of man, through many centuries of evolution and changes. This includes many periods in which it was considered a devilish sin. In the modern age, music is considered a great form of self-expression, where everyone has their own favorites. Soundcloud makes a point of this by offering you a little space of your own to share your tunes.

With Facebook integration, SoundCloud is the perfect way to find new artists, genres, or even individual songs. You can use Facebook to register, share your tracks to your social media account, and follow your friends. Sharing music with your pals is the best way to broaden your horizons.

The design is easy on the eyes and simple, but it doesn’t make up for the application’s flaws. The first thing you notice when trying to use SoundCloud is how slow it is. It can take some time before your music starts to play.

There is no way to record or edit any of your own songs. This makes it hard for anyone looking to release their songs and work on the within the application. Remember to edit before you try and upload anything. Yes, it’s great for sharing your masterpieces, but the addition of a few simple editing tools would make it stand out.

Where can you run this program?

This application is available for all Android and IOS devices. You can also access the service in most web browsers.

Is there a better alternative?

Yes. YouTube and Spotify are both great alternatives. YouTube has helped many artists gain an audience while Spotify is one of the best ways to discover new music through their radio playlists.

Our take

This application is a great idea that was poorly executed on IOS devices. The slow starts when playing music can be jarring.

Should you download it?

No. If you’re looking for a great app to share and discover songs, you should try other applications.
