"Music streaming app SoundCloud is evolving into a more social platform with the introduction of new community-oriented features. On Thursday, the company announced features like playlists based on the likes of friends or followed artists, an automated list that compiles all the tracks your friends are enjoying, suggested follows, and more. The features aim to enhance social interaction on the platform as SoundCloud competes with music streaming giants like Spotify."
"The two most notable features SoundCloud launched let you see what your friends and favorite artists are listening to. "Liked By Your Crew," for instance, is a daily updated list of tracks that your friends and favorite artists are enjoying. It appears on your homepage and shows what's popular among the users you follow. Another feature is "Liked By Playlists," a scrollable carousel of playlists curated from the likes of friends and favorite artists."
"SoundCloud also launched two features exclusive to its mobile app, including a "Hot For You" daily personalized track that's trending on the platform, curated to your music taste. The other new mobile feature recommends people to follow, including fans with music tastes similar to yours, users you may know in real life, and suggested artists. This appears as a carousel on the homepage, making it easier to connect with others on the platform."
SoundCloud added community-oriented features that surface friends' and artists' listening activity, curated playlists, and trending tracks to increase social interaction. Liked By Your Crew provides a daily updated list of tracks friends and favorite artists are enjoying and appears on the homepage. Liked By Playlists offers a scrollable carousel of playlists curated from friends' and artists' likes. A Trending Trackwall displays popular tracks with filters for discovery. Web, iOS, and Android users receive these updates. Mobile-exclusive additions include a Hot For You daily personalized trending track and a follow-recommendation carousel suggesting fans, real-life contacts, and artists.
