Better than Soundcloud? The internet has changed forever how we listen to music and how we interact with our favorite musicians but also dramatically changed how artists and labels distribute music. CD sales continue to decrease every year and as the world stays interconnected with file transfer rates at blazing speed, streaming services rose in the last years and the trend doesn’t seem it will stop anytime soon. This is a great opportunity for indie musicians to start their careers as it never been easier to record, mix and release music so go out there and build a fanbase that loves your music and are eager to discover artists like you.
The name “SoundCloud” doesn’t really need any explicit introduction – I’d probably be having a hard time trying to find a musician who has never heard about it in his life. When the service was first introduced to the world 12 years ago (in 2007), it kinda revolutionized the way of publishing music online by creating a large, community-driven platform able to connect underground music creators with fans who were looking for new music to listen to. Anyone could upload almost anything instantly and there were always some ears to listen – no wonder that the popularity of the service quickly skyrocketed and there were quite a few big musicians whose careers took off from SoundCloud. But it was too beautiful to last forever.

HearThis officially describes itself as the “Best SoundCloud alternative on the internet”. While that in itself means precious little, the fact is that the service does offer tons of features that match those of its more illustrious competitor. The rich set of features include feeds, profile pages and the ability to like, comment and share tracks. In addition to all that, HearThis also offers a feature called ‘Maps’ that keeps you up-to-date about the local music scene. HearThis also allows users to import their SoundCloud profile into their platform, making it even easier for users wanting to migrate to the service. HearThis allows users to sort their feed by genre, length of the track and when it was uploaded. The service also has a ‘Groups’ feature that was once a staple of SoundCloud, but has since been done away with. If you’re a musician and looking to jump onto the HearThis platform, you’ll also be happy to know that just like SoundCloud, the service also offers artists the opportunity to sell their music directly to fans by cutting out record labels and other middlemen.
