8. SoundCloud

Type: dynamic, radio on demand

The free music service SoundCloud also knows how to create endless mixes based on a selected track. But if Deezer Music and similar sites specialize in content from major music labels, then SoundCloud promotes the work of independent musicians. Try it if you value author's music. In addition, there are Russian-language podcasts on SoundCloud.
