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. 
 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
 price... 
 
Ironically I have actually been offering space and bandwidth
to open source audio projects for years but so few people have
taken advantage of what I have to offer that I don't even
bother offering anymore.

 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. 
BS. There is no legitimate reason to require a login to listen
to free music created with free software. If I am going to buy
it or actively contribute then sure... just to listen... no way.
  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. 
If you don't want me to hear your music that's your problem.
