The biggest problem I have with their ads is that I pay for SoundCloud and still have to suffer through them :(

#13I think it's absolutely ridiculous that SoundCloud gets into the ring to compete with Spotify, Apple Music et al. SoundCloud shines for small musicians, independents, for actually building a community around music. The other players don't do this. I blame VC money. Let's see if they can partner with the big labels and avoid watering down what makes them unique.
People definitely underestimate Soundcloud. I'm an Apple Music subscriber and I'll be moving to Soundcloud as soon as their new service begins. There's tons of content on there you can't get anywhere else. Not just mixes, but demos and legitimate pre-releases from the artists themselves. Out of all the music streaming services, Soundcloud is the only one that gets "social" right.

I use SoundCloud for exactly this.
Discovery of independent music, as well as remixes.
I have a huge SoundCloud playlist that I keep adding to.
I also use Spotify. Another huge playlist. More music I like.
I hate having to choose when I really want to mix the two playlists.
