Just asking what everyone thinks of the platform. I rarely listen to music, but it seems like spotify but community edition.
There are paid features but I don't seem to need them (Desktop only user), no DRM protection so I can download if I want, site is not heavy on my humble resources.

This post is just asking if Soundcloud is something I should talk positively about. Moral compass in the high seas.

If you're using something like Bandcamp, the artists are already getting thousands of times the money you are giving them from listening on Spotify, I think it's good enough. Even iTunes is thousands of times better.

That's right, a friend told me that he gets a lot more from a single purchase on bandcamp, that from spotify

Spotify earnings are abysmal for anyone other than the biggest artists. Here's a couple of musicians discussing it.

And the Bandcamp team deserves their cut for making that happen.

Unlike the Spotify team.
