I suppose it means the free version will have ads etc....
Don't think that's a good news.

I hope whoever buys them forces them to include the volume control on the embedded player.

(though it is an ingenious way to force people to their actual website)

Interesting... Twitter makes no profit since years but they have interest to buy Soundcloud

Crazy world...

There must be some profit somewhere if they want to pay 700 000 000$.
The only thing we already know is that the users will have to pay (at the end).
Via a super Pro version or more expensive......
Or ads before you can listen to a track, like Youtube.

I only know that the net income for 2013 was a loss of $34 million. Maybe the will have a small profit in 2014 but it's still crazy that such companies are not profitable over such a long time but acquire other companies for a lot of money.

When you have hundreds of millions of people as your product,
the arrow will eventually move nicely into the black.
