It's available on the web and on SoundCloud's Android app. No word yet on iOS availability but their iTunes listing promises "bigger updates" than their recent design refresh. To be honest, I've been checking out music on [SoundCloud](http://www.soundcloud.com/?ref=hypebot.com) for what feels like a long time, at least in internet years, but I've never thought of it as a place to discover new music. The discovery happens on blogs and other external sites where SoundCloud happens and then in the related channel where I then seek out similar tracks but the external discovery has always been at the heart of the experience for me. So their new [Explore](https://soundcloud.com/explore?ref=hypebot.com) feature, also available on their [Android app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.soundcloud.android&ref=hypebot.com), feels like a long overdue touch. Explore offers: trending streams for both music and audio trending streams organized by genre lean back listening by simply pushing play from the main stream or genre stream Explore is a great look for SoundCloud which is not just an indispensable service for so many artists but increasingly a key part of music's infrastructure on the web and mobile. **Additional SoundCloud Resources** SoundCloud also [integrated Instagram](http://blog.soundcloud.com/2013/10/28/hear-whats-happening-soundcloud-and-instagram/?ref=hypebot.com) to make it even easier to "[add your favorite photos to your SoundCloud posts and profile](http://help.soundcloud.com/customer/portal/articles/1348538-how-can-i-upload-my-instagram-photos-to-soundcloud-?ref=hypebot.com)."
