    Sound cloud isn’t by any means the only place. I have my own views on all this.. such as i am distributing music that I DONT make any money from. Here where I am to do it legally it costs about $800 a year. Well and good if i am getting paid for it, but I dont. To me My sets are my creation. If i paint a van gough in the style of davinici with a bit of dahli is it still his work? or mine? Short answer is DO IT! play the tracks.

    I Often Contact the person on SoundCloud if I would like More Tracks from them (and of course this Builds an Association); but if the Track is a Free Download from the Artist; as long as I have Mentioned the Artist (or Remixer) in my Track List; I Feel that is Sufficient; and actually is All the Artist Wants anyway (A Mention) 🙂

    If the producer puts the tunes up for download, then he’s pretty much giving you permission. Many will put a snippet of a new tune to build hype, but try to lead you to Beatport to buy the tune.

    I think SoundCloud is only good for tracks, but sucks for DJ mixes. I wish DJs would stop trying to put their stuff on there and just use MixCloud and/or MixCrate.

    Hello D-Jam 🙂
    I still have yet to check out MixCrate;
    And I have yet to Upload a Mix to MixCloud; but doesn’t MixCloud seem ‘Dead?’ (in the sense of Very Limited Traffic);
    I was also wondering (having read the T&C of MixCloud) what happens when I have Tracks Within my Mix that are ‘Not’ For Sale; in the sense that they have yet to be Signed; or by Artists who Wish Not to be Signed ?
    Will MixCloud just Reject my Mix ?

    I’ve posted a bunch of mixes on MixCloud, and no one’s said anything.

    MixCrate I usually recommend because they let people download the mixes.

    I have been with mixcrate a fair while and good friends with one of the guys heavily involved with it. It’s a great site. That said, I also like djmix.net’s layout. If there was a combo of both those sites I would be in dj heaven.
