Not arguing the lack of progress on the platform, but I think usage varies depending on type of music. I use SoundCloud daily still, their stream function where I’m checking latest posts from artists and labels I follow. I listen to a lot of electronic music, and I listen to dj sets on sound cloud that aren’t posted elsewhere. I rely on it for new dj sets, and they’re still the best for that IMO.
- pipeline_peak 4y agoI guess it doesn’t help my perspective that I’m heavily into 90s indie rock. Cloud rap wasn’t coined because the platform was a failure that’s for sure. I think the future of SoundCloud looks more focused on hip hop, EDM, and types of music that are often produced more consistently than one album at a time. But albums are an archaic concept, maybe all music will move towards more frequent syndication. I just hope they don’t end up like MySpace, whatever it is that they do.
