Pros
Pro Pre-releases
Some music labels, especially newer ones, release on SoundCloud before anywhere else.
Pro Subscribe to artists
You can subscribe to artists to be notified the instant they upload a new song or give an update.
Pro Not just for podcasts
In addition to podcasts, SoudCloud offers music, documentaries and audiobooks.
Cons
Con Annoying spoke ads
Without the expensive Go+ Subscription you have to listen to advertising for their paid subscription option. They are quite aggressive in placing those ads very frequently (as of Summer 2019).
Con Can't do an advanced search
You can't search, for example, for Creative Commons music with the tag #trap. It could be useful to search for music you like that is under Creative Commons.
Con Interface is full of bugs
The SoundCloud website has tons of problems, including issues with notifications, favorites, and uploading sounds.
Con Audio ads in some uploaded content
Some content on SoundCloud includes audio ads, particularly sponsored podcasts.
(Note that SoundCloud itself doesn't add these - all the audio you're hearing is exactly as it was uploaded.)
