SoundCloud
SoundCloud is a freemium music-streaming and audio-sharing platform that allows users to discover, listen to, upload, and share music from independent artists, DJs, producers and established musicians worldwide. The platform hosts over 250 million tracks from 30 million artists across 193 countries and is particularly known for supporting underground and emerging talent. The Mac version lets users stream music, manage playlists, follow artists, and upload their own recordings in various audio formats. Artists can monetize through SoundCloud Premier and the Fan-Powered Royalties system, while all users benefit from social discovery features like Daily Drops and community engagement tools including likes and comments.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results provide no clear information about whether SoundCloud has released a native Apple Silicon build of its Mac desktop application. SoundCloud offers a web-based platform accessible through any modern browser, which runs natively on all Macs including Apple Silicon. However, if you rely on the desktop app (com.soundcloud.desktop), you should contact SoundCloud directly to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon version exists or is planned. Given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028), it is important to verify the app's native compatibility status before that deadline, as an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release. In the meantime, you can access SoundCloud's full feature set through the web interface at soundcloud.com, which provides all streaming and account management functionality in a native, cross-platform format.
