Music Streaming App SoundCloud Go Plus Now Available On Apple CarPlay

SoundCloud, the popular music streaming service renowned for its unique content, has recently expanded its reach to Apple CarPlay. This move introduces a new dimension for its user base, particularly benefiting those who subscribe to its premium service, SoundCloud Go Plus. Available in the United States for $9.99 per month, this subscription offers an ad-free, on-demand music streaming experience.

Distinct from mainstream platforms like Apple Music, YouTube Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music, SoundCloud has carved out a niche in the music industry. It is particularly known for its eclectic mix of content, often featuring music and mixtapes from DJs and independent artists that are not readily available elsewhere. This makes SoundCloud an essential platform for those seeking a diverse range of music outside the mainstream offerings.

For Apple CarPlay users, the integration of SoundCloud offers a seamless and convenient way to access this unique content while on the go. However, it's important to note that the full functionality of SoundCloud on Apple CarPlay, including the ability to stream music, is exclusive to SoundCloud Go Plus subscribers. Non-subscribers who attempt to access SoundCloud via CarPlay will encounter a notification informing them of the subscription requirement.

This comes after Apple teased the imminent launch of Apple Music Classical, Apple’s new music streaming app which is dedicated to classical music. Bit by bit more diverse types of music streaming services are being launched for Apple CarPlay.
