Been using SoundCloud for like 2 years now. It’s basically this massive music platform where you can find pretty much anything – from mainstream hits to random underground stuff you won’t hear anywhere else. I keep finding these weird remixes and indie artists that aren’t on Spotify or Apple Music, which is pretty cool if you’re tired of the same playlists everywhere.
Here’s how it works: you search for whatever you’re into and there’s like 300 million tracks to choose from. They’ve got these daily mixes that actually recommend stuff based on what you’ve been playing, which is way better than some other apps I’ve tried. And you can follow artists directly, so when they drop new tracks you get notified. The commenting system is kinda fun too – you can see what people are saying about specific parts of songs.
Look, if you’re someone who actually cares about discovering new music beyond the algorithm, you’ll dig this. It’s not perfect – the interface can feel clunky sometimes and the audio quality varies since anyone can upload – but for finding hidden gems and supporting smaller artists, it’s still the best option out there. Worth having alongside your main streaming service.
