#2I hope this is just an alarmist headline. SoundCloud is pretty essential in its space, it's one of the few services that lets you natively get audio on to Twitter, the main place musicians share snapshots of their work and remixes, and a key part of numerous podcasts and ways to embed easily shared audio on the Web. This is one startup I absolutely don't want to see go down the pan.

The trouble is there is no real alternative. There's Vocaroo, but it serves a different niche than SoundCloud.

I don't know about OP but I have been a paying customer for years. No soundcloud would be a huge loss.

#7All my production buddies hate it. They pay full price, your the world and yet Soundcloud take down the tracks that they OWN. With no recourse or apology. Their system has been broken for 5 years at least for the power users in the community.

#8Soundcloud has not done 'peak mySpace' yet:

All seems on the up in terms of interest from people using the search engine. Very enviable curve.

#9This is a badly written article. Impossible to tell if the headline is accurate or if the writer made an alarmist guess.
Re: SoundCloud could be forced to close after $44m losses
#10Article is bs.
they lost 44m in _2014_. Raised 77m last year. They may need to raise more in 2016.
Nothing else. No other facts. No info on their balance sheet, etc. Doesn't even know if they're growing, what their revenue or losses for 2015 were.
And based on that, Fact thinks that's enough to say they "may be forced to close".
