The problem is that they couldn't get away with it. Most of the stuff I listen to on SoundCloud is available on other platforms which are free and run by companies that can afford to take a loss (YouTube) or on services I already pay for (Spotify, DI.fm).

I'm also greatly disappointed that they seem to have settled on 128kbit MP3 as the peak of quality.

Yup, surprised that they never thought of charging (more) for lossless.
