Just asking what everyone thinks of the platform. I rarely listen to music, but it seems like spotify but community edition.
There are paid features but I don't seem to need them (Desktop only user), no DRM protection so I can download if I want, site is not heavy on my humble resources.

This post is just asking if Soundcloud is something I should talk positively about. Moral compass in the high seas.

If you like electronic music SoundCloud has the most dj sets out there imo

I agree but mixcloud isn't far behind it I don't reckon. Especially as they used to have unlimited free uploads. I have 60 or more mixes on there myself and I'm just a bedroom DJ

I actually was looking to download this (which I heard in a video from bilibili) and stumbled upon it here: https://soundcloud.com/ball-hakurei/vocal-eastnewsound-1st
found it on spotify too, but couldn't download.
Eventually I've found higher quality here (9th in the list): https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/hiirogekka-kyoushou-no-zetsu-10th-anniversary-2017
