SoundCloud is currently now is now the world's largest
single audio platform used by DJs, musicians and other creators. It has 12
hours of content being uploaded every minute and is a revolutionary platform
for upcoming artists to publish their work in the hope that it may be discovered.
It is not just for DJs and music specific artists either; podcasts, audiobooks
and many more are uploaded. There is even a page by NASA that plays audio clips
of what's happening in space.

The audio company has designed itself to make sure
everything is catered for the convenience of the user. Personally, as someone
with a huge enthusiasm for music and new artists I find SoundCloud is a great
platform for exploration within different genres. With a Soundcloud profile I
can see trending music which people are enjoying at that time and can 'like'
them so I can listen to them anytime on my profile. There is also an option
when listening to the song to add to a personal playlist for others to listen
to and share in your musical preferences that may not have heard before.

The sharing component of SoundCloud is what I believe sets
it apart from other audio platforms. The sharing is key both on and off the
site. On the site, it is a great tool for sharing new music and a feature that
I believe is key when putting out new music is people's ability to comment on
it.

However the comments are not just at the end of a song but comments can be
made mid song, at different times. So for and up and coming artist they can put
out new material and if people dislike certain bits the artist can go away and
rethink which is incredibly useful in producing new music.

Sharing on social media using SoundCloud is also much easier
than with other audio sharing platforms. Soundcloud clips can be embedded into
social media posts such as tweets or Facebook posts and so can be played with
one click without being taken to a new webpage. Recently, SoundCloud introduced
ads, which now gives artists an opportunity to share in the money from the ads that
play before some audio clips. This gives more popular trending artists revenue
as well as exposure on the site.

SoundCloud has expanded massively since its creation and now
has apps available so it can be accessed on the move and for premium users,
offline as well. The audio platform provides users with a way of not only
finding music they love but collecting their favorites to be listened to and
shared with each other in playlists. Audio is a huge medium for people's
enjoyment and Soundcloud's innovative design is convenient and useful for
customers. I believe it will continue to grow, dominate it's field and help
discover new talents.
