If you’ve ever listened to audio on some website visualized as an oddly alluring orange-and-gray waveform, you’ve likely bumped into SoundCloud. Founded in 2007, the site aspired to furnish artist-focused musical file sharing — a kind of Vimeo or Flickr for musicians. In the lead-up to its relaunch in late 2012, its operators rolled up their sleeves to pull together a more listener-angled experience that’s now the most stylish way to upload and publicize music or audio of any sort, through SoundCloud’s listening community or embedded in another website.
