Well we did not have a real launch party since it is only a small team right now. But nonetheless SoundLoud.com is officially here to service the growing unsigned/independent artist community on the World Wide Web.
So what is this really about you ask? It is about selling music in a new way. A way where fewer hands are in the pot and more money is paid out to the artist. Ways where people can listen and buy your music right then and there without being taken off your website and directed to another music download service.
How did we do this? At SoundLoud we have developed an innovative and new experience called the SoundStation Music Store. A digital music store which can be placed on your official website you own. Your fans who come to drop you comments or emails, browse your photo gallery, and even preview your latest singles can now just buy your music through a simple checkout process.
In addition, we have built an intuitive and informative management console which does a number of things:
1) Allows you to upload your music and price it easily.
2) Displays info about your SoundStation Music Store performance in real-time.
3) Gives you the ability to send your earnings to yourself instantly.
Enough of selling the service. This purpose of this blog is not actually for that (See last paragraph). But if you are one of the early adopters of the service it might help you clear up a few questions you may have around what SoundLoud.com is and even more importantly why it has came to be.
In conclusion, welcome fellow musicians. I hope to hear your comments about the service. What you do not like? What you do? What needs to be added? etc...
Through the LoudBox, we will keep artists informed of any and everything going on in the digital music industry. So please check back often.

JUST WANTED TO THANK THE STAFF AT SOUNDLOUD.COM AND LET THEM KNOW THAT IS THE FUTURE,THIS IS AN INDEPENDANT MUSICIAN'S DREAM COME TRUE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND THANKS FOR PROVIDING THE ARTISTS WITH THIS AMAZING AND IMPORTANT TOOL ..........
7:00 AMTo whom it may concern,
12:18 PMI just wanted to say that I really love the new features that soundloud.com has implemented recently (with unlimited tracks). I think the one idea that would take soundloud.com past the next level is implementing the ability to make the soundstation music store "viral".
Just a little button, somewhere on the flash player saying "Share Store" or "Share Player" that when clicked, reveals source code for that particular soundstation music store. This kind of feature will raise the visibility of soundloud.com & the artists on board already... as well as attract a multitude of new artists. Your player is superior, a feature like this would help it to be a standard within social networking communities and many other places on the internet.
I look forward to seeing the soundstation music store being more "viral" in the future.
Keep up the good work,
DJ Ramadan
P.S. Can you give us the option to send funds via DIRECT checking account deposits OR Paypal (an option like THAT... would really make soundloud the best it can be).
1:52 AM"unlimited" means in fact 35 tracks , each track limited to 10 MB in size, thats not really 2007 standard. 320 kbps mp3s are mostly bigger.
11:53 PMawesome product! if you add full pay pal and google checkout integration (within the flash player), you'd take the next step towards having a perfect solution.
5:40 PMJust wanted to say how impressed I am with this store. I had various links before, but the 'sound store' is proving very popular - people like it it.. I have not sold anything yet but the stats show that more people have played this shop than any from before.
4:26 PMkeeping it simple and clean makes all the diffrence.
Cheers
Lindsay

V. impressed so far with this. However, I think a couple of things could be improved:
11:31 AM1) Allow Albums to be created using previously uploaded singles instead of going though the whole process again!
2) Allow full play of album tracks in store.
3) Take a % cut instead of a flat rate for both album and single sales. I have a lot of long tracks and therefore don't do well selling albums if you take $3.
4) Increase the 25MB per track limit to allow long tracks of >=192kbps quality.
...that's exactly what independant artists were expecting...thank's...will advertis for you...
9:04 AMI've put my music store on my myspaceMUSIC...That's TOP....
