SoundCloud debuts “Albums” feature

SoundCloud




SoundCloud has started rolling out a feature for creators and artists that lets them package their music and audio files in a better way. The company has added an album option that specific tracks can be lumped into and easily discoverable through search.


Using an album is similar to creating a playlist within SoundCloud. However, the difference is that albums are bundled up by creators just like artists and record labels do. Listeners interested in organizing a bunch of songs associated with a particular artist can set up a playlist, but a more “official” version is done through albums. SoundCloud said that artists that have an official release can create playlists and mark it either as an “album”, “EP, “single”, or a compilation. Afterwards, it'll show up within the Albums tab under your profile.

The goal of this new feature is to provide artists and creators with better ways to organize their work, placing related tracks into a bundle that could help increase sales or at least give listeners something they've always wanted.

SoundCloud said that this feature is rolling out now so if you don't have access to it currently, you might just have to wait a bit.
