Thumbs up Soundcloud.com open for business- great for online track sharing

Soundcloud.com is a great online track sharing service definitely worth a look... I participated as a beta tester, but am in no way affiliated with the company. Just posted an update & video of the service description on my blog for further info.

The first question that comes to mind is what's the benefit above and beyond email and/or FTP (especially since the pro options can appear expensive at first glance)? In my opinion, this is vastly superior approach; it's faster and more secure, but mostly it's the collaboration tools that won me over.

I've been using it for a while now and I'd also suggest everyone checks it out.

So far I really like it. Hopefully it becomes totally free in a time, because the pricing vs. restriction scheme seems a bit steep on the $. I'd prefer 100% free app with some ads.

here's my bit:
zka4t - Tracks - SoundCloud

Respectfully, I disagree!

I think this is a cool-looking site whose design elegance is a major part of the appeal. I just learned about Soundcloud, but it feels like the people behind it have a tremendous sense of style. Ads would gum up this presentation and make it less aesthetically appealing.

I'm looking forward to joining! What a cool company!

I joined also - it just feels like this site is going to work well. I love the wave form and the timed comments idea, and I do actually find myself logging on just to listen to people's tracks.

First of all: how fantastic is that name? Soundcloud. Phonetically and conceptually perfect!

Nomenclature is important!

Microsoft has an infinite budget and they came up with Zune. Boo. Project dies a quick and deserving death...
