two of the artists i remember from then were cleanhead phil speat and seka. more popular with the people running their platform inlcuded electronic music from the baldwin brothers.
it wasn't just using dial up to post music that made mp3s more attractive than lossless audio formats. storage space was also a concern.
prices for bandwidth and storage did drop, but started high. to give some perspective i consider that floppy disks were still normal in the 2000s.
unlike cnet's site, soundclick is still around and have kept some of my music.
recently i've been posting mp3s to this and my other blogspot page (that link may not be effective after a few more posts), and to tumblr and newgrounds. my goal was to make the music freely available. i didn't start selling my music or allowing myself the possibility of being compensated for it until halloween of 2012.
directly above this, was the image i posted over on bandcamp as a header. soon afterward i started posting as nonfer instead of as vodkaseven or v7. by the way the first track i posted to bandcamp was faint and then linked to that through the now defunct G+. at some point i deleted it from there but left it on my first soundcloud page. much later google discontinued G+.
finding it really unfortunate that i can't download my own content w/o signing in to soundcloud, suppose that's part of their not having a secure platform, not as bad as audiomack claiming that storage of my music for offline play by their app constitutes allowing downloads of mp3s. am pretty sure that horse mu isn't an mp3 and wasn't set to loop. brb
it's 96kHz@24bit, should downsample fine. clicking the logo on vocaroo's widget below should take you to their site where you could download the mp3.
i often find mp3's (or often aac audio encoding for videos) sound like they are coming out of a shoebox. encoding compression saves storage space and/or bandwidth and sounds less interesting.

difficult to remember that he never ran for President? as an
independent he ran to be the democrat's nominee twice.
[ and again, today ]
the strategy of pretending to avoid the thesis versus antithesis of obvious
republican versus republican worked for fundraising. i remember not
posting about his age being a concern in 2015 and in 2020. i didn't for
two reasons. one, he never ran for President. two, i went through
his voting record as a member of congress. then, he dropped out of the
race to be the nominee before the convention in 2016. not how that was
supposed to work, failing to bring supporters and delegates to nominate
candidates and decide on the party platform didn't allow his supporters to be
heard? his large dollar donors were. you do know that despite all
the talk about how he got the support of small dollar donations that they were
matched by large dollar donations? as one of over five hundred of my
representation in congress i didn't neccesarily find myself at odds with his
voting record. it still would have felt just as cruel to vote for him
as it would have to have voted for hillary or trump.
he also dropped out of contention in 2020 (very disappointing for not hearing
from him that the public's health was more important when he did).
"Rococo Variations were composed in short score near the end of 1876 for
Wilhelm Fitzhagen, who was principal cellist at the Moscow Conservatory.
Fitzhagen got a short score of the new variations so he could make the cello
part idiomatic while Tchaikovsky was orchestrating the rest. This was
introduced at a Moscow concert on November 30, 1877, when the composer was
"recuperating" in Switzerland from the debacle of his one and only marriage
earlier that year. He didn't know of revisions Fitzhagen made and presented to
the publisher Jurgenson as "authorized." Tchaikovsky's own version had a brief
introduction for strings before the theme itself, in two parts, then eight
variations, and a coda. Fitzhagen added repeat marks to both halves of the
theme, killed variation 8, rearranged the original order (to 1, 2, 7, 5, 6, 3,
4), and truncated the coda. Although biographer David Brown has damned this
version as "deplorably corrupt," it remains charming, albeit less effective
than the original, finally published in a 1956 Soviet edition of Tchaikovsky's
complete works."
sound quality's for shit, am listening over bluetooth anyway.
seen quite enough of that already? kind of doubt it will be anytime
soon. have to launder that dishonest money somewhere is exactly what
their subscriber numbers look like. only real viewership won't likely be
from downloaders either. if anyone to speak of ever sees this it will be
years from now.
