SoundCloud is on my top 5 sites that I use on a daily basis, there really is no comparison for someone who listens to electronic music.

The sad thing is that their only focus is on creators (subscribers). Customers who only listen to music routinely get the shaft via shoddy quality assurance and lack of discovery features.

Playback, search, browse, and discovery in general routinely fail to load ("Something went wrong. Retry?"). Playing and finding music on their platform shouldn't be such a buggy experience given how long they've been around.



I heard SoundCloud's codebase is quite a mess (on Rails 2, I think). Maybe they need to do some refactoring/updating...
