I think free services are counter productive and much more costly than free.

Soundcloud was free and awesome, but free is not sustainable on its own, it needs funds. In order to obtain those funds it has to make you pay in other ways, be it the inconvenience of being served ads, a sacrifice of good service leading to shitloads of spam in your inbox, or pay structures that just make no sense.

So my question to you is, how much would you pay for music hosting / streaming, and how much would you expect to get from that?

I'm not disparaging your idea, but you can do that on youtube. That's where I look for most of my new music.

Oh yeah, youtube!

Hmm, ... really struggling to find any objections to it. You can create playlists, detailed track descriptions and people are more likely to have the YouTube app installed on their phone.

Only downside is that it drains the battery so you might get a little less watching on the go, but all in all they seem the most ideal. Plus there's little chance of them going out of business within our lifetime.
