I've been a Soundclick member, as both a listener and artist since 2003. They are the oldest music hosting site on the web (since 1997). They did go through a rough patch for a while and needed some updating around the time when a lot of other hosting sites started appearing. This period caused some bad reviews. However, a number years ago they did a remarkable job of refurbishing their site - both for listeners, and for artist administration. Speed, graphics, and useability are all now first rate, and subsequently, they've attracted a lot more high quality independent recording artists. I also like the fact the public can listen to music without having to become members, though there are some advantages to membership.
