Just asking what everyone thinks of the platform. I rarely listen to music, but it seems like spotify but community edition.
There are paid features but I don't seem to need them (Desktop only user), no DRM protection so I can download if I want, site is not heavy on my humble resources.

This post is just asking if Soundcloud is something I should talk positively about. Moral compass in the high seas.

SoundCloud is pretty cool, especially when compared to Spotify. I've been really liking the https://sc.maid.zone/ SoundCloud frontend recently, makes it more private and you can download the songs on the same page you can listen to them. But all in all, it really just comes down to your opinion regarding if you should talk positively about it.

Shame it is only 128 MP3s, I'm guessing that is what the audio is streamed at.

I'm happy it is like this atleast.
some people find twitter happy, but honestly I'd punish them with harsh words for praising it. I also find Youtube handy and helpful, but I would never talk positively about it.

EDIT: thanks for the frontend, bookmarked!
