Free Music Sharing Software for the Independent Musician

You may often need to share music over the web as a musician.

You probably send tracks out for promotional purposes or to ask for feedback from your peers.

There are tons of services which allow you to share music files however not many are focused on music sharing. A lot of free services annoy the people you share your tracks with by using flashy ads and pop-ups when they download your tracks.

So, I suggest you avoid the irritation and take a look
at SoundCloud.

SoundCloud allows you to...

... receive music files to a central dashboard interface where you can scan, listen to and delete tracks without the need to download.

... add a drop-box to your web site or blog to receive tracks from your visitors.

... upload tracks and share with anyone whether they are on Soundcloud or not.

... add widgets to your web site or blog to distribute your music with a streaming player.

I recommend this service to independent music artists I work with because it's simple, easy to use and run by a great team of people.

The free account at SoundCloud allows you to send up to 5 tracks per month and your contact list can contain 20 users. You'll also see only the last 5 tracks added to your DropBox when you use the free account.

SoundCloud offers three levels of Pro accounts, so should you want to use the service more than the free account allows for you can upgrade at any time.
