Soundcloud?

How does one go about using this service to discover new music? Do you any of yous guys use it, especially on an iPhone?

I really don't use it unless some one links to it via a blog or link or something. You can explore through categories in a browser and it has it all from music to podcast but I don't really use it. Had the app but I removed it.

I came across a website recently that enabled one to download mp3s from soundcloud. Seems.....useful

Is it just emerging artists that are on it?

Yup, there are more than one. Anontune is one that Pitchfork featured I believe. Offliberty is the one that I use. It also allows you to very easily download songs from Bandcamp and videos and mp3s from Youtube.

Re: using Soundcloud to discover artists, I'm on the same boat as Paulhead. I go there all the time when I see a link on a forum or blog or something, but I don't actively wander around it to discover new stuff. I guess I can say the same thing about Bandcamp. I love both sites. They essentially buried the MySpace music player, which is a piece of shit compared to either.

I have a few soundcloud accounts for each of my projects. I don't usually "find" people on there, but I'll find them somewhere else, and then I'm able to follow their latest wheelings and dealings on Soundcloud. It's neat for that. It's like a facebook wall for all of your friends that also do music.
