Just received mine, and they nuked my account I've had since 2007. 3500 followers poof gone! I had disabled all my tracks and downloads months ago so it must have been redundant for something way back.
I know Soundcloud is not going to win their upcoming court case with Sony/UMG so how long do you think they're going to survive?
Artists and remixers are dropping like flies, even the pro paid accounts are not safe now.

When I first read that, I thought you actually got a message from Soundcloud advising you not to share the mix because the selection was kinda/sorta. Soundcloud A&R!
But also: why are you putting utterly forgettable jamz in your mixes??
Everyone of my mixes on SC for the past couple of years starts inevitably starts off with a so-so non-majors track just to trick thier alogorithm. That's the name of the game.
Are people really going to Mixcloud in large enought #s at this point?
Yeah, I've actually had to be strategic about the first track too. (I usually put some sort of spoken word over a soundscape.)
Has hulkshare gotten many artists/DJs on board, or it's mainly promoters? They're platform seems similar to SC.
Doubt it will ever get as big as SC but many remixers/artists have migrated over to it.
Hulkshare has to be getting some legal heat from labels by now?
Mixcloud is okay for long mixes. Do they even allow a single song remixed?
Hearthis is starting to gather momentum, its still a little slow though, mixcloud wont allow single songs and will delete, I even had my MF Doom mix deleted from there (and later re upped after an email)
i don't like how mixcloud doesn't have integrated downloads, but i guess it's easy enough to include a dropbox link in the comments. would be great if they allow single songs, too.
i just checked the site, but can someone summarize how hearthis is different from SC?
Too late?
