You mean https://blog.soundcloud.com/2016/03/29/introducing-soundcloud-go/ https://blog.soundcloud.com/2016/03/29/introducing-soundclou... I assume SoundCloud will at some point post other blog content and so in a matter of days/weeks this general link will not go to the right spot.

I read the article - the pros seems to be: - Ad free music - Listen offline - More tracks from established creators The first two are a given with any streaming service. My point was their catalog isn't enough to make me switch over. As an artist, unless you're getting some kind of crazy deal to just be on one of the services, your best bet is to be on every one out there.

  Where in the article does it say you have be exclusively on this platform? The word is exclusive is mentioned twice and both times in relation to Tidal.

    That's the only thing that really separates these services. They all have similar catalogs and features for the most part. The issue I have is with the exclusivity deals that come up as part of them trying to compete with each other. It annoying for the customer, and ends up with less money for the artist as most people will inevitably just go torrent their work if it's not on the one streaming service they're using.

  YMMV then, because their catalog is the only reason I want this. Soundclouds service in general kind of sucks, but they are the only place to get a ton of new smaller niche music very quickly. If you're really into electronic music stuff like spotify just doesn't cut it. This is a godsend for me, I've been begging for years to pay them a monthly fee to cache/not have ads.
