SoundCloud-A platform for new creators.

In my personal experience I can say that I have found very good songs on soundcloud and above all a good experience, there I keep songs from my favorite artists that are not on spotify, and that is what makes soundcloud special.

PROS

Posting music on soundcloud is free and very easy, and this is a boon for creators looking to get their music out there. It is a friendly platform for everyone, and I consider it one of the main ones in the musical field. The interaction that fans can have when listening to the song is something very special that only soundcloud has.

CONS

One of the cons of soundcloud is that it is overshadowed by larger platforms such as spotify, apple music or deezer, artists always decide to upload their content to these platforms and this is the con that I see soundcloud, but even so it is still a good source of new music.

Reasons for switching to SoundCloud

Spotify is a more complete platform.

An industry classic, making musical distribution accessible and easy.

My job has greatly benefited from SoundCloud, we've managed to make our website accessible for the blind by making audio versions of the articles and uploading them to SoundCloud.

PROS

I use Soundcloud daily at my job, we upload audio readings of our magazine's articles and Soundcloud's embed feature has become one of the identifying features of the digital magazine. I recommend this tool to anyone wanting to share any type of audio files, audiobooks, music, or podcasts.

CONS

The only issue I have is the way the Hashtags are formatted. I have to write very slowly or the hashtags won't work.

Reason for choosing SoundCloud

It was way easier to use.

Different platform in a good way

its super mega easy to used. You can find a lot of mixes there, cool music, soundtracks.. I actually really enjoy soundcloud, maybe the design is not as cool and simple as other streaming platforms but its more open for new musicians that want to enter to the music industry. I love the remixes and mixes they hay in Soundcloud, I can't find them in other platform. the platform design, could be more organized and attractive so it can caught the public eye and make you always stay in the app. Another thing is that you need to stay in the app otherwise whatever you're listening would stop.

It is a great application to listen to music, Quran and lectures anytime and anywhere

A very nice experience, especially when I listen to my lists when I disconnect from the Internet

PROS

I can upload my own music and recordings, and it helps me follow my audience and work to increase them

CONS

I am facing some problems with the weak internet connection, as it needs a strong and fast connection
