We have recommend SoundCloud for years to our clients to help track listens. We like how it allows links to iTunes or any other store for physical as well as digital sales. We also like that you can add a video link to it. We built for our clients private SoundCloud players for press and media so that they can hear and even download the whole album before it goes to iTunes which gets the music to the taste-makers quicker and conveniently for them to add tracks to their digital outlets.
