**Soundcloud or Mixcloud or something else?**

So which one is best for mixes?

If you pick “other” specific if you want.  
Where should people post their mixes?  
Where are you more likely to listen to a mix?  
Which do you use more often?

In my opinion… Mixcloud is good because it has unlimited upload, but I find that more people use Soundcloud and will mostly check a mix on Soundcloud rather than Mixcloud. Because of that, I’m picking Soundcloud.

^this

But another option is mixcrate. Unlike mixcloud, it allows downloads.

i dont like what the future of soundcloud is going to do. most mixes will be taken down due to copyright infringement. soundcloud is growing bigger everyday so theres a liability now for music choice on your page. if you have a song that isn’t yours, it can be taken down. i also have some friends who produced some stuff, it was reported/taken down. ive been using soundcloud for over a year, my membership expired and i have converted to mixcloud.

I heard that if your mix is silent for the first 5 second and the last 5 seconds it won’t take the song or mix down. It doesn’t recognize it or something…
