Audio and video in teaching and learning<\/p><\/div>\n

For October\u2019s app review we would like\u00a0to introduce an audio-streaming and sharing service called SoundCloud<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is SoundCloud?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

SoundCloud is a service for uploading your own audio files and finding those created by others. There is a strong social element with easy sharing and options to add comments to tracks.<\/p>\n

You can browse what\u2019s popular (\u2018Trending Music\u2019 or \u2018Trending Audio\u2019) or search for what you are interested in.<\/p>\n

When you have found the track you want you can \u2018Like\u2019 it, add it to a playlist,
\ndownload it (see below for downloading limits) and\/or share it to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Google+, Pinterest or by email.<\/p>\n

Is it free?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Like most apps, SoundCloud has several levels of account. The free account limits you to a total<\/b> of 3 hours (180 minutes) of uploads and 100 downloads<\/a>,\u00a0but if that is not enough for your needs you can choose a Pro account or a Pro Unlimited account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Will it work on my device?<\/b><\/h3>\n

SoundCloud has mobile apps for Android and iPhone<\/a>,\u00a0but to use all of its features you will need to sign in using a web browser.<\/p>\n
