What's the best site for hosting mixes?

Soundcloud? Mix cloud? Band camp?

I'm willing to pay the fees but wondering what y'all would recommend.

I have 10-12 mixes about an hour or so each that I'd like to upload.

    at this juncture, I would use mixcloud.
    soundcloud starts getting a bit expensive with a few hours of music up.
    not to mention the copyright issues with mixes.

    mixcloud does not enable downloads, that is the only problem for me.

    I def would want people to be able to download so no Mixcloud. How often is SC taking stuff down for copyright infringement. Are there any sites to host mixes from that can have download capability without being yanked down?

    mixcrate is probably your best bet, mixcloud has the whole pay for plays thing and it is very hard to get any exposure from new audiences.

    I'm an interface guy and Soundcloud has them all beat in that category. Their copyright software and their app sucks balls, though.

    Agreed, the SoundCloud interface works great. Mixcloud is always buggy when I use it.
