SoundCloud deployed an AI-driven autoplay and discovery feed that recommends music to listeners based on their listening history, genre preferences, and user activity. The system surfaces tracks in playlists, autoplay queues, and personalized feeds across the platform.

SoundCloud's discovery page confirms the platform automatically analyzes, tags, and surfaces music using AI trained on audio characteristics rather than popularity signals alone. The system detects patterns, genres, moods, and fan preferences to match listeners with tracks they are likely to enjoy. In March 2023, SoundCloud also announced a TikTok-style vertical recommendation feed that serves 30-second clips based on listening history, built on Musiio technology. SoundCloud's autoplay algorithm connects fans with similar tastes based on user activity and listening history; this applies to all publicly available tracks.
