SoundCloud only has enough funding to continue its operations for another 50 days, according to a TechCrunch report. The music streaming service recently laid off 173 employees — roughly 40 percent of its workforce — in an effort to cut costs and and remain independent. -------------------- My SoundCloud

Egad! I figured they were on borrowed time to be honest. Most folks just go to youtube to find music this days which makes soundcloud sort of superfluous. I hope they can stay in business. I've actually got a pro account with them to get better analytics. It doesn't get nearly the traffic that youtube does and that may end up killing it.

That's sad, I have a pro account too, just because I filled up the free account with all of my junk.
Problem with YouTube, unless I'm doing it wrong, you have to create a video, I know it can be a still picture but it's still extra faff, I just copy and paste a jpg many times to create enough length for the sound track. Let's hope they can pull through. Maybe they should have no more free accounts, or maybe allow three tracks free, there are probably far too many free accounts taking up resources. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

Don't also forget instagram, I'm seeing more guitar player promotion (mostly teachers) everyday.

Guess I'll have to learn how to stream/link from my domain. I only use Soundcloud for here as it is pretty simple to use and link.

For me it's just a convenient place to host music to share here and with friends. I'll have to find somewhere else soon I guess

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Jul 17 2017, 04:08 PM) You are correct. Youtube requires some sort of image. Sound cloud has been very handy for embedding tracks right here on GMC. I use it all the time in COLLAB and in my SHRED CHALLENGE. It's been a great tool to have as an instructor to be able to embed music that folks can just hit the play button on before they download. If it does go away, I will miss it as an instructional tool to be sure. I guess I'll have to use youtube instead.  I think that it's safer to upload files directly to GMC forum to avoid possible lose of the material. If we manage small files like mp3, and mp4, it can be quick to download and listen. -------------------- My lessons

Something like Soundcloud or YT is pretty big. It's nice to have a library online that is easy to access. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
