Popular online audio platform SoundCloud has released a new visual player that gives a complete makeover to the embedded player by now allowing artists’ artwork to be displayed along with their music. Artists’ artwork is important, and now it is front and center for everyone to see and SoundCloud also revamped its waveform to give users a better visual experience. The new player also offers a better listening experience, too, by offering continuous listening by suggesting related tracks when a song is paused or when it’s finished playing.
The company has also enlisted the help of artists to promote the newly unveiled player ranging from The 1970 to Schoolboy Q. After raising $60 million of funding this could be just the beginning for SoundCloud. Check out a snippet of the new track “Gangsta” from Schoolboy Q’s upcoming album and see what the new visual player is all about.
