I've been testing the new Mixcloud for a few months now and I love the latest design. As someone who is deeply engrained in the streaming music space, Mixcloud is now my number one place to discover new music (mainly because the kind of music I'm discovering is mostly released on Mixcloud first). Music discovery is solved if you are able to follow the right accounts so that your feed is perfect. I used to do this with Soundcloud, but the mixes aren't being released on there as much. Spotify is the long game, where I can save tracks for the future (which I usually discover on Mixcloud). Major kudos to the team for releasing this!

The music streaming space is so interesting. I see so much innovation and UI work being done by Spotify and iTunes, as well as a shift to more algorithmic music discovery, that it's interesting to contemplate how Mixcloud and Soundcloud continue to compete. Would love to understand more of how Mixcloud in particular approaches setting itself apart from the competition.

I'm a member of the Mixcloud community for years now. Up until now no music discovery algo has been able to replace fine human curation.

I listen to more Mixcloud than I do Spotify and I'm paying for Spotify premium! Mixcloud has changed the way I discover and listen to music. I hope they can remain a viable business and figure out how to navigate the jungle of rights management.
