Mixcloud

What is Mixcloud ?

Quite simply, Mixcloud helps connect radio content to listeners more effectively. Mixcloud is re-thinking radio by joining the dots between radio shows, Podcasts and DJ mixes. We refer to them as Cloudcasts - audio shows that are stored in the "cloud" and available to be streamed on-demand.

What is a Cloudcast and how is it different to a Podcast ?

A Cloudcast is an extended audio show that is hosted in the "cloud", in other words hosted somewhere centrally on the Internet rather than on your local hard-drive. Therefore, unlike Podcasts, Cloudcasts can be enjoyed via on-demand streaming without any waiting required.

Cloudcasts are easy to create and upload - no fiddly RSS and XML to worry about (if that means anything to you!). And because they're stored in the cloud, there is a lot more interesting data to play with - who's listening to what, where in the world they are, how long they listen for and so on. This allows us to do a much better job recommending other Cloudcasts to you.

Mixcloud is currently invite only. Sign-up directly if you have an invite code, otherwise go to the home page to get your name on the invite list.
