Their onboarding is also pretty bad. The friction in switching from another music player is so high - you can't import music so you have to build a library from scratch. I'm a user but this stopped me from moving entirely from iTunes.
This post also doesn't go into their mobile apps, which (I think) are easier to use than the competition. This is the best post you'll read on their mobile apps: http://blog.brianlovin.com/design-details-soundcloud-for-ios/ http://blog.brianlovin.com/design-details-soundcloud-for-ios...
- thirdsun 12y agoSoundCloud is certainly not intended to be an iTunes replacement. Other than playlists it doesn't have any library management features and an import from traditional apps for that use case doesn't make any sense to me.
- BillFranklin 12y agoI meant importing tastes and lists of songs - but there's nothing at all there.
- sehr 12y agoMost of the artists would probably not be on SoundClod unfortunately, I'm not sure it would be a feature worth implementing
- boyaka 12y agoSimply search for artists you like and follow them. You can follow artists that follow them or artists that they follow to get more. I'm pretty picky with following artists (I make sure I love mostly everything on their profile) but it doesn't take many to have a very lengthy stream to listen to.
