SoundCloud is a digital audio distribution platform and music streaming service based in Berlin, Germany. It allows users to upload, record, promote, and share their audio, as well as listen to other user’s audio. SoundCloud’s music library contains millions of tracks from established and emerging artists. It also offers audio analysis tools to help users understand and improve their own audio. Additionally, SoundCloud provides tools to help users promote their audio on other sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. Finally, the platform also offers a range of promotional options such as paid advertising and sponsored posts. The service is available on the web, as well as on iOS and Android mobile apps.
Google Play is a music store, not a community-based audio sharing community like SoundCloud.
Google Play Music is a store and (on Android) a music player. SoundCloud is a website.
Deezer is a competitor to Spotify, not SoundCloud (mainly because neither is community-based like SoundCloud).
Deezer is a music streaming website that lacks all the social features that SC has.
While Bandcamp is more geared towards professional independent artists, it's still a good, solid service with a lot to offer.
Bandcamp is basically SoundCloud minus all the baggage. There's no complex "modern" interface, no ads screaming at you to give them money, just music. However, it's a bit more obscure.
It's a good place to find content like mixing sessions. I found one by Ronski Speed, which was not available on Soundcloud.
Pretty similar interface. You can upload music if you want. A good alternative.
It's almost the same, except more customization options and much more storage.
Logamp is known for its FREE and UNLIMITED loading space, that's what I like most about this site. Plus, it's also pretty subway, it's easy to get in touch with anyone, even the owner.
It is a social website for artists.
It allows me to upload the music I made.
Gives a better chance to discover new artists, subway sounds shared by people who loved them. Good mix
It has a music library management, linked to Discogs for metadata. People share the music they like, so when you visit your radio, you will discover new music in the context of the songs you like.
Discontinued According to their Facebook post on January 2, 2017, "We are sad to announce to our users that Musicovery is shutting down its smart radio. Musicavery is now focusing on providing other music services with its recommendations engine and playlists."
It has many songs (including Vocaloid and other "rarer" songs) and has unlimited free music. It also has playlists.
