I've been using SoundCloud for several years. It's a great service and they have a decent business model. They're actually charging for useful things (stats, storage) meaning the don't need to shove ads down our throats. If they start going down the road of licensing content I'm not sure exactly how that will change the service. Will they start running ads? I hope not. If they start licensing large amounts of music they will just become another streaming service. At the minute they have a good thing going. They are a good place for artists to upload promos, demos, mixes etc. and I hope that doesn't change.
