Well I know Apple has that turnaround potential - up to 16 days I think is the wording - but I've had very good success with 24-48 hour turnaround time on most of my material. I'd have to double check, but your point is a good one. Spotify, Amazon, Tidal, Google, YouTube all have the content up within 24 hours, and some even quicker it seems. If the lag is a bit of an inconvenience I understand, but I find the results worthwhile in my use case.
If SoundCloud does essentially 'legitimize' the remix and DJ set market and corners it, with revenue, I think the music industry will be pretty happy with that outcome. As a customer/content creator I do like competition, even if it means managing more outlets.
- snickmy 11y agoCorrect. Spotify has an optimistic scheduler that sometimes swings under 2hours for point to point ingestions. Google Play is fast too. I'd love to find out more about user adoption of all this players in about 6 months. As you correctly point out the next big technical challenge is having a unified delivery system (without any additional cuts, so no aggregators pls).
