Do you have Soundcloud OCD?

...how they will do the "paying the artists" bit....

hmmm

Very cool chart. Information Is Beautiful is an awesome site.

As for mixes... that's still pretty grey. If mixcloud doesn't pay royalties to at least one performing rights org (which would then be passed on to the relevant songwriters/publishers in the relevant countries) then they're really a target for litigation if they're generating money.

I'm pretty sure that mixcloud.com are legit, much like play.fm and letsmix.com.

How much money are they generating, though?

Mo money, mo problems. As long as you're not getting major paid, the major labels generally aren't going to bother.

when you see the waveform while listening to a track for the first time, you anticipate the breaks, the drops, the changes, loud/quiet dynamics, because you see them before they happen.

ever thought that this is NOT the way you should experience music???

I tend to set the tracks to play then navigate away, no problems
