Starting today, SoundCloud is making it even easier to discover music you’ll love, now, through the people you trust most.


We’re excited to introduce Liked By Indicators, a new feature that brings SoundCloud’s community to life by showing you what your friends, fellow fans, and favorite artists are loving. Now, as you browse playlists, search results, and more, you’ll see profile icons highlighting who’s liked each track, making it easier to dive into new music with confidence and connection.


Discover Through People, Not Just Algorithms

Music is better when it’s shared. Whether it’s a friend who always puts you on to the right vibe, or an artist you follow for inspiration, Liked By lets you discover songs through the people you trust most - right where you’re already listening. These small moments of connection, seeing a familiar profile next to a track, can make all the difference. It might encourage you to check something out, follow someone new, or even message a friend about a song you both love.


Why It Matters

At SoundCloud, we’ve always believed music discovery should feel personal, dynamic, and rooted in community. Liked By Indicators are just the beginning of a larger evolution.  This launch also helps build toward more powerful discovery features in the future. For those already following friends, artists, and tastemakers, it’s a new way to engage. For those who haven’t started following others yet, it’s the perfect time to start.


What’s Next

This is the first of several new features coming in 2025 that will make SoundCloud more interactive, more social, and more reflective of the culture our users help shape every day. We’re focused on giving you more ways to connect with each other, celebrate the music you love, and be part of something bigger than a playlist.


Liked By Indicators are now available globally on iOS and Android across all listener tiers (Basic, Go, Go+). Read more in the Help Center here.


Start exploring what your community is loving, and stay tuned for what’s next.
