Audiocloud is a third party implementation of SoundCloud API, it brings millions of track right in front of you. SoundCloud is an online audio distribution platform that lets users upload and promote their creations and also listen to music created by other people around the globe. The UI is clean and nice. It keeps all the songs neatly organized and comes with other interesting features such as sleep timer and etc. You cannot download or save the music offline due to the limitations of the SoundCloud API but you can always create playlists and stream them from anywhere.

Shazam is not any conventional music application that lets you play music online, but it is an amazing application that lets you identify music being played around you. With a tap of a button, you can identify which song is being played around you. Next time you hit the club and you aren't aware of the track, let Shazam do it for you. Once a track has been recognized, you can head up to Windows Store to buy it or to YouTube to view its performances and official videos. Shazam also comes with Cortana powered voice commands.
