SoundCloud - music pro service + invites
Hello Abletoners!
I'm currently working on a web-based service for music professionals (you!) called SoundCloud. Not sure if you heard about us since we have been running the site secretly over the last couple of months but it's already used by artists like Funk D'Void, Milton Jackson & Sebo K.
SoundCloud is an online audio platform that makes it much easier for music professionals to send and receive tracks. Instead of having to use things like YouSendIt, FTP or email we wanted to create something that makes it much easier to use the web for working with music in a smoother and faster way. There's quite a few features that make it a great tool for artists to send out private pre-mixes, for labels & studios to receive demos & in-progress tracks, and also for people involved with promoting tracks through their private promo lists. We also have some kick-ass widgets for your myspace, blog or facebook page, here is an example: http://forss.to/
A brief tour of our site can be found at: http://soundcloud.com/tour
The site is invite only but i created some invites for you guys in the forum:

Check out the site and some of the great artists:

See you in the cloud //Henrik

actually, not too bad an idea...
You can totally have problems sending tracks through email, and the other file share sites do suck...
So, how does this work? Is this a payware service? is it add supported? are there monthly limits?
HOW secure are the files? Can they get stolen? Linked too?
that sort of thing...
cheers

We agree, the service is actually born out of frustration from using Yousendit, FTP and other non-usable ways to send music.You can totally have problems sending tracks through email, and the other file share sites do suck...
At the moment we are closed and available through invitation only and therefore the whole service is free. Unlimited uploads, all formats etc. However, this will change when we open the site to the public. We will then introduce the concept of PRO-accounts that can be bought for a small fee per year. I can't really tell you more about it right now but we will be very clear around what it means before we implement it.So, how does this work? Is this a payware service? is it add supported? are there monthly limits?
Well, it depends. If you share your tracks privately to a limited number of people (which is easily done) you have total control over who has access and who has not. If you share them publicly you of course have less control. You can also choose whether to enable plays from outside SC through widgets, facebook player and mashups. Then, since it's web-based, it's always possible to steal tracks. It's a fact on all music services online. Although we look upon that issue as very important and are taking all actions we can to prevent it, it's basically a trade-off between risk and spreading your music.HOW secure are the files? Can they get stolen? Linked too?
Hope this answers your questions. Feel free to ask more and give any kind of feedback.
Cheers
Henrik

I've signed up.
I think to have a file sharing service, just for musicians, where you can upload various things, you haven't posted to your personal website, or haven't released yet, is a good idea......
Keep us posted with info about the development and all of that....
and you might want to have " tier " pricing... For example, a big label with twenty producers is going to have a lot more use, than a guy working in a crowd of 2's, 3's or 4's....
