why not upload these gems to a site made for music, like soundcloud? You'd over more access and awareness to great music and make it easier for people to listen.

I settled on tumblr because it offers the highest streaming audio quality of any widely-used website, maxing out at 320 kbps MP3 to Soundcloud’s abysmal 64 kbps Opus (down from 128 kbps MP3) and YouTube’s 192 kbps AAC. Lossy compression is very unkind to FM synth music. Soundcloud’s Content ID is also pretty aggressive these days. Not to mention the fact that you can only upload about 2 hours of music, and I have consistently gotten the most attention (by a considerable margin) on my own FM arrangements on tumblr. Soundcloud has pretty much nothing going for it.

If you are irritated at how difficult it is to listen to music online, blame the chilling effect of the litigiousness of the RIAA, UMG, WMG and SME.
