SoundCloud is a new online audio platform for music professionals that makes sending & receiving music simple and efficient.

Let me start by saying this: you are not allowed to upload music that you don't have the right to share. SoundCloud is a community for people who make music, and people that want to discover new artists by listening to their sound tracks. If you are a musician, SoundCloud enabling you to collaborate, promote & distribute you music. Primarily, SoundCloud provides a efficient and simple way for music professionals to exchange music they are working on in private settings allowing for easy collaboration and communication prior to a public release.

The main concept is to allow music professionals to easily send & receive large music files without cluttering their email box. I haven't test the uploader, but SoundCloud claimed that it is fast and smooth, and set you free from the need to use email, FTP, or services like Yousendit when you want to share your music with friends. For every track you send or receive you can start a conversation at any point in the track by putting in a timed comment anywhere in waveform.





When you upload music, you can embed your track on sites or blog, with the look & feel you want. You can also put a player on your site that will update automatically with the latest tracks you upload to SoundCloud.

My WOW at the title goes to the content I've heard (which was mainly electronic music), and for the great interface SoundCloud has. This is a truly awesome place for people who create music.
