Overview
On SoundCloud, track-level displays now show the Artist Name instead of the Profile Username beneath the track title. This applies to both mobile and web platforms, enhancing the overall user experience by offering more relevant and intuitive information about tracks.
Key Details
1. Artist Name Display
- What is displayed: The Artist Name is shown below the track title in places like:
- The Track Page
- Track Search Results
- Purpose: This change ensures that the artist’s identity is clearly displayed, providing more consistency and clarity for listeners.
2. Supply Chain-Delivered Content
- Track Title Format: For content delivered through SoundCloud's supply chain, the Main Artist information is no longer included in the Track Title. Instead, only the official Track Title is displayed. This keeps the track title clean and free of additional artist details.
Additional Features
- Artist Profile Link: While the Artist Name is displayed as text, it currently does not function as a clickable link to the artist's profile. This feature is being worked on and may be available in the future.
Impact on Users
- Creators: Artists can ensure that their Artist Name is properly reflected on their tracks, providing clearer visibility for their audience.
- Listeners: For listeners, this setup offers a more seamless and informative browsing experience when exploring new tracks and artists.
