VibeDeck integrates with Soundcloud
As commenters pointed out, VibeDeck has a ways to go before it has the same functionality as other music services, but in keeping it simple (and remaining free), it has some great potential. Every day fans and musicians are always looking for services that keep prices low.
And today VibeDeck added another piece of the puzzle by deploying a SoundCloud integration that will allow any SoundClouder to sell tracks directly to fans (or give away music for free in exchange for email data, if they’re cool like that). This new feature also enables fans to buy MP3s (along with metadata and artwork) as SoundCloud “sets” directly from a SoundCloud user’s page. It’s a quick, 3-step purchase process, and payments flow directly into the artist’s PayPal account. And, thankfully, VibeDeck doesn’t take a cut of those sales.
The set-up process produces a free VibeDeck page as a by-product (an example of which you can see here), and pricing is up to the user’s discretion. However, there is an email-for-media option for those musicians that would rather distribute their music for free in exchange for building an email list.
My two favorites among music services have teamed up, awesome!
