The Five Best Reasons to Use SoundCloud

Page 2 of 2

2. Playlists Another great feature of SoundCloud is that it allows users to create their own playlists composed of tracks uploaded by their favorite artists. As a band, this allows users to share your music with their friends through their playlists. It also allows your fans simple, quick access to their favorite tracks, so they don't have to look up your page every time to hear your songs.

1. It's Perfect for Demos and Mixtapes The informal nature of a SoundCloud release allows bands to drop any kind of tracks they want. This means demos, studio experiments and mixtapes. You can do this on other services, but SoundCloud features the ideal setup for this since it's not a service designed to sell your music.

You can embed links to buy your music on SoundCloud, but the service itself is more about free sharing and expression than it is sales. That means an anything goes mentality that can allow you much more freedom with your output and constructive criticism as you work through the process of creation.
