SoundCloud Beefs Up Its Radio-Like Stations Feature
SoundCloud has added another way to create new, algorithm-based streams of music. Earlier this year the company introduced Stations, allowing users the ability to start a radio-like stream of music based on any single track. Now, that same (Pandora-like) feature can be launched from an artist’s profile page as well, giving listeners a seemingly endless stream of songs in the vein of that artist.
As SoundCloud explains in a blog post announcing the feature, when a station is created it is saved to a user’s Collection area so it can be revisited. Tracks are refreshed each time a Station is re-launched, and SoundCloud does not put a limit on skipping past songs you don’t like.
