SoundCloud has been redesigned!

We’re really please to be able to announce a complete redesign of SoundCloud today, headed by our mega-interaction designer Katharina. We’ve made a great effort to optimize the site for speed and usability even further, addressing most of the major areas of the site. Below is a list of the big things that have been improved:

Dashboard

Dashboard

The dashboard has been made both leaner and smarter. The new design fits more content into the page and groups items by users in a clever way so that you’ll find the important stuff faster. A convenient “Show more” button in the footer will show you more content without leaving the page.

Player

player

The player has been torn apart into molecules and put back together again: it’s now snappier, has better contrast and adding timed comments is a lot smoother.

Single track & set pages

single-track

The single track pages have gotten a major re-design to make more space for the waveform, yet better displaying relevant metadata.

Search

Search is faster, and gives more relevant results thanks to our new hotness algorithm.

Speed

A lot has happened behind the scenes as well, and you should be seeing radically faster average loading for many pages and actions on SoundCloud now!

So that’s it! The new release is named after Miguel (aka Kid 606) who was in our office a couple of weeks ago when we got interviewed by Groove magazine. Why not go and take it for a spin?
