I don't think that's true, not your first statement anyway. As far as I can tell even the free soundcloud accounts have access to this service?

But yeah, no question they are having financial problems. Hopefully they will pull it together because although the site is far from perfect, it is, in my opinion, the best site out there for uploading music.



If SoundCloud didn't continue to add new features they could not justify their rate increases. In the beginning there were only 2 tiers a free account and an unlimited account. This year they added a new higher price for unlimited storage. If they didn't keep adding new features they could not justify their rate increases. Enter L and R, soon they could add how musicians can make money with SoundCoud.

Eventually SoundCloud is going to have to introduce advertising, or a way for musicians to make money on their site. (charging for downloads which are free now) When they do that somebody who really knows those markets will buy them.

Edit: just my opinion
