Quote SoundCloud posted a net loss of $52 million in 2015 and may “run out of cash” before the end of 2017, Music Business Worldwide reports.

Should have had more ways to charge people. Maybe they get bought out.

Soundcloud followed the business model of DMusic and thats why they are the predicament they are in. 

They stalled far too long on offering a subscription, and from the jump, they should have scaled back size limits and functionality to free users. Now, if you tried to scale back functionality and force a subscription fee, people will just delete their accounts and host their music elsewhere. 

a site like Soundclick really could make a huge rebound if they were smart enough to take advantage of sc's imminent downfall. 

regardless, if soundcloud shuts down . . . . ill just host all my audios on Youtube and call it a day

anyone use bandcamp? they have more stats than sc for free users, they allow people to download in any format as long as you upload a .wav

only issue i see is an ugly interface especially if it's just one track, pretty much have to multi-track releases...which is why I do "issues" of 4 - 6 songs
