> SoundCloud has really re-defined how new music is released and how new artists promote their music.

For promotion Soundcloud undoubtly serves its purpose, but actually releasing the music has to happen somewhere else. And in my opinion the actual re-defining service in that regard is Bandcamp. After all, you can't buy music on Soundcloud, can you?

You can buy music on Soundcloud.

Where? As a long time Soundcloud listener and artist I have never seen an option to buy or sell music on Soundcloud. Unless you mean the "Buy"-link which you can setup to redirect your listeners to actual stores and purchase options.

Oh, you're right. I'm mistaken.

For some reason I assumed there was a buy link on the preview tracks people put up.
