Higher quality music
Yes, there are problems with SC, but the amount of hate from people has been excessive, especially for free music and a free app. The nice thing about this app is that the music is fairly high quality, although Im not sure what the average kbps is. It may depend on what is uploaded by artists, but I dont believe SC does any compressing. The app seems to open slowly occasionally and for some reason it has started to crash, but I would say thats pretty rare. Also, theyve done some shifty things when it comes to managing artists music and thats even when getting permission from their label. Like removing legit songs. It seems to be getting worked out though. Remember this is free music and a free app people.
