SoundCloud has a mostly great platform for what it aims to do. It has a music recommendation feature called Autoplay. Autoplay makes an automated recommendation for the next song to play based on the one you are currently listening to.
Unfortunately despite SoundCloud’s best efforts, it’s users have been lamenting for years what they believe are poor quality recommendations.
Based on extensive experimentation and observation on how SoundCloud’s Autoplay feature appears to work, Helios greatly outperforms it in terms of the quality of its recommendations and the broad versatility of its applications.
On the latter point, SoundCloud’s Autoplay is not reusable. This means it cannot be integrated into another music related product or service outside of SoundCloud’s own platform.
