This Friday SoundCloud is launching its web-based audio platform and with it setting new standards for music professionals who need to send, receive and distribute large music files online.
It brings collaboration with music files onto the web and into 'the cloud' - just as Flickr did with photos and Google Docs did with office documents.
Tracks can either be distributed privately to any contact, shared publicly or embedded into any web page, blog or social network. Users can also get access to their own online music inbox where they, without downloading, can listen to incoming tracks and instantly leave feedback. SoundCloud's unique commenting system allows users to place comments inside of tracks making this a perfect tool for collaboration.
