Mix cloud or sound cloud?

You should've included Official.fm in the mix.
It doesn't limit you in any way.

I'll post about this topic soon on my blog.

I thought soundcloud was 100 Euro for 12 hours. Did they up it? 24 hours makes it a much better deal. Hmm....

Anyways, as Jester pointed out, "can't be arsed w/ mixes I can't download".
Ditto. Download FTW.

12 hours (Solo account) is 50€ currently (normally it would be 79€).
I think that hasn't changed in a while.

Wow.... That's actually a very clever idea. Smart move

What about Mixcrate? I don't see any mention of that site, and I particularly enjoy it.

I put a track listing with all my mixes so that part is irrelevant. And I can't sit at my computer and listen, I absolutely have to be able to download mixes. Plus I get a lot of promo and small producer songs that they load up for free download.

If mixcloud would increase their limit to 200mb or even 150mb, and I would gladly pay for that, I would use them more for my own mixes, but I'm not going to sit and listen to stuff at my computer very often.

or just reduce the quality you upload a track at. For online streaming 128 - 256 Kbps is fine.

I've got a bad feeling when uploading 128 (although most sites stream with that setting), so I'm with photojojojojo on that one.

Yup or 9€ a month. The 12 hours gets added on to whatever time you already had on there. For example, if you had an account when it was totally free and had no upload limits, and say had 12 hours of mixes on there already, you'd have 24 hours like me
