isn't it more likely that it is "probably" to do with advertising dollars?

No, he didn't. Well, two things. First, you can still listen if you
want. Second, imho that is pretty lame...like I said, unless you are
willing to provide the bandwidth and harddrive space for the same

Sound click is neither intrusive nor malevolent. They provide a
pretty decent service to the community for free. The only thing they
want is a login name. This is probably to save on bandwidth,

Not sure if Mark got back to you privately, but soundclick requires
registration for download. I will pass on that too, but will be
listening to your other tracks shortly. Thanks for sharing.
Any chance of picking these up from anywhere else
?
Why? Unless you want to provide the hard drive space and the
bandwidth I don't think so.
those
unwilling to participate in the community don't get any.
by participating, i guess you mean "providing private information about
yourself" and/or "wasting time needlessly" ... i mean, if you're
posting
a song to the list for comment, it should at least be freely accessible
and *easy* to access - i.e. you should be able to click on alink from
your mail client that will automatically bring up a "save to ..." box,
not a registration page.
Many other
sites do the same thing; if they allowed downloads without an account
it would tripple the requirements of their systems...why the expense
for a bunch of dorks that don't want to be a part of what is going on?
well, it's just that there's more than Soundclick going on ... and
soundclick seems to sort of suck. i went to download your song, then saw
what was required, and realised i was a "dork".
I'm sorry, but when a company offers something free
like soundclick
does it is pretty lame to complain about them wanting login accounts
to use it. Everyone else charges their artists or provide limited
space. Soundclick does neither. IMHO they deserve some kudo's for
that, not a bunch of complaining because they want login
accounts...that is just stupid and selfish.
those comments themselves are stupid and selfish.
No, I am proud to be an artist on soundclick's
website. If you don't
like it you don't get to download my music. I am not going to let
that bother me too much.
hooray.
