Mixcloud is an Android application that provides access to a streaming platform for DJ mixes and radio shows. You can listen to soundtracks and upload your own ones.
Streaming
This is a specialized streaming app that caters to long-form audio content. These include DJ mixes, radio shows, podcasts, and much more. You can create your own artist profile to upload content, while listeners can discover, like, comment on, and share their favorite tracks. Similar to Audiomack, here it is also possible to add songs to your library.
Mixcloud’s distinctive feature is its inability to allow on-demand song skipping within a mix. This is a design choice meant to respect copyright and licensing agreements. Mixcloud also offers “Mixcloud Live,” a feature that permits DJs and artists to live-stream their sets without facing copyright issues.
Monetization
The platform stands out for its unique approach to licensing, ensuring artists, producers, and record labels are compensated fairly for their work. For monetization, Mixcloud offers a subscription model allowing listeners to support their favorite creators directly. This model not only provides revenue for creators but also ensures they have a closer connection with their fan base.
