That's very good, and I'm glad to know it.

Sure. This was by no means intended to be a criticism of your decision,
or anyone else's for that matter: it was more meant to be a public
statement/reminder. It seems any time someone posts something on
soundcloud, someone else replies asking for a direct link or sayint that
the player or audio doesn't work. I figured it would be good to make
everyone aware of the possible difficulties associated with SC material.

Cheers,
S.M.
