Soundcloud
Soundcloud is an amazing social network style website that is primarily designed for producers/musicians to share their work with one another and collaborate using an intuitive graphic user interface with a sexy design. Even with my own site to host material I still use it because of the sleek API which can be easily embedded into your other real estate around the net.
Here’s a peek at what the Soundcloud API looks like:
Once you are are a soundcloud member you can upload your songs and mixes with full control of what will be private, public, downloaded, streamed, availalable for widgets at lower fidelity etc. You are also provided with an embeddable drop box, where other artists can literally drop songs to you, either from their hard drive or those already posted onto Soundcloud. There is an easy to use friend system where you can “follow” artists to receive updates about their new uploaded projects, as well as a fully integrated personal messaging system.
Here’s a short message from the creators:
Who We Are
We’re a few people who moved from Stockholm to Berlin, found some more cool people there and set up a small company to create the best dedicated music site in the world.
As you might expect, over the years we’ve grown tired of getting emails with YouSentIt links or FTP log-ins just to be able to check out our friends latest soon-to-be released tracks. Not to mention how annoying it is to try and email a reply with some comprehensible feedback. Music is just kind of tricky to deal with over email. So, we thought we’d change that. SoundCloud is our way of doing it.
Connect
Get in touch with us through email or if you’re more of the physical kind of person you can find us in the hidden attic of the old east-berlin Postfuhramt.

GermanyThen there’s of course the FaceBook page, the FaceBook group, the Twitter stream & the MySpace page.
In conclusion, I just wanted to share with everyone that Soundcloud is an amazing place for anyone that likes music, which I think it everyone! You can have a look at my soundcloud page here http://soundcloud.com/annias . They have a free account that you can join by receiving and invite, as well as a multi-tiered subscription service for more features.
If you like what you see and would like an invitation to soundcloud feel free to send me a message at annias@gmail.com or AIM=djannias and I’ll send it out asap. I have a few dozen left and will update the article when they are gone!
Adios,
Annias
