No autoplay into things you didn't choose. Your likes, your searches, your queue. THE HONEST BITS Orpheus requires a SoundCloud account. Some tracks are available only as 30-second previews, and a few can't be streamed outside SoundCloud at all — Orpheus shows you which, rather than pretending otherwise. Playback depends on the SoundCloud API. Orpheus is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SoundCloud. Powered by SoundCloud.
