App: SoundCloud
Download For: An Impressive Variety of Audio
SoundCloud is the brainchild of Swedish Sound Designer, Alexander Ljung and artist, Eric Wahlfross. In recent years the online distribution platform has played a key role in providing up and coming artists with invaluable exposure. Us listeners have also been graced with a website and an app that are both aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate.
SoundCloud combines the best of social media and music streaming, allowing users to create a profile, share tracks and interact with others. Although SoundCloud’s “trending charts” and flawless search engine are impressive, the main reason to download the app is evident in the numbers. Each minute approximately 12 hours of audio are uploaded, some of it exclusive to SoundCloud. It is currently one of the largest communities of musicians and music lovers alike and is still rapidly growing. You won’t want to miss being a part of this!
