SoundCloud (Free)
Screenshots
Streaming services are common, but SoundCloud stands apart from all the others. It provides users with the ability to upload their music to the cloud. This enables you to either listen to a wide variety of content or become a low-end producer.
Features available
Unlike many other streaming platforms, this one allows you to skip songs as many times as you want. It has an excellent algorithmic playlist allowing you to discover new artists that suit your style. Another bonus is that you connect directly with the content producer, or if you are that person, with your fans.
Two membership plans
For Soundcloud, you can get Pro or +, with the first going for $4.99 and the second going for $9.99. Only on the plus plan can you get all of the premium quality music of artists as well as high-quality music, which you can’t get on the lesser plans. However, the second tier option does give downloadable music and ad-free music experience.
User Interface
The UI for the programme is ok; however, finding your favourite artists might be difficult. Since there is a lot of free content including covers, searching for a specific song is may take a while. Also, podcasts are not separated properly, making them difficult to find.
Wide range collection
Soundcloud is an ideal option for anyone interested in user-created content and producing their own music or podcasts. If you primarily want to keep up with major artists, this application is not for you.
