I am also planning on putting material up on archive.org. One minor issue I
have had with soundcloud is the MP3 encoding introduces artifacts
occasionally on material that has quieter passages with instruments in the
higher register (like woodwinds). Luckily, if I upload a WAV, it will keep
that as the download file while having the lower quality MP3 for playback
on the site. archive.org will let me have multiple formats online,
including FLAC and OGG.
