Most likely, you're agreeing to give them those rights regardless of how 
you might be licensing your works for other people's consumption through 
their servers.  It's a moot point, though, since their terms also include 
these:

"USER irrevocably waives the right to assert any claim against SOUNDCLOUD 
or any of its respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, 
assigns, employees, agents, directors, officers or shareholders in relation 
to the Content generated, uploaded, transmitted or otherwise used on 
SOUNDCLOUD’s Website or Services, including, but not limited to, copyright, 
trademark, unfair competition, invasion of privacy, breach of contract or 
breach of confidentiality."

TLDR: Even if we violate this agreement, you agree you can't sue us for it.  
Or anyone we do business with, pretty much.

So, no, I don't see myself using Soundcloud for my music.
