FAQ

How does music get added to SoundCloud for streaming?

+

Music can appear on SoundCloud either through direct artist uploads or via approved distributors who deliver audio files, artwork, and metadata. Distributed releases are placed in SoundCloud’s official catalogue, while direct uploads are managed through the artist’s own account.

What types of audio content does SoundCloud support?

+

SoundCloud hosts singles, albums, demos, DJ mixes, remixes, podcasts, and experimental works. Its creator-first approach allows artists to upload works-in-progress and alternate versions that may not appear on traditional DSPs.

How does SoundCloud help listeners discover new artists and tracks?

+

SoundCloud promotes music through personalized recommendations, genre feeds, repost networks, curated playlists, trending charts, and community interactions like comments and follows. Viral engagement can significantly boost visibility.

Can artists track their performance and audience data on SoundCloud?

+

Yes. SoundCloud for Artists provides analytics including plays, listener locations, engagement trends, repost activity, and audience demographics. Monetized tracks also show revenue and pay-out information.

How does SoundCloud handle royalties for monetized tracks?

+

Royalties are generated through SoundCloud’s Premier, Repost, and distribution programs. Pay-outs depend on streams, advertising revenue, subscription tiers, and the platforms SoundCloud distributes to on the artist’s behalf. Earnings are reported and paid through the artist’s designated pay-out method.
