I can also recommend archive.org, especially for the ability to upload
and stream FLAC. Bandcamp has the same functionality pretty much.
Archive.org or bandcamp are not the best places to showcase short
previews, sketches, etc. though. I guess more people will take to
Youtube for these kind of ephemeral uploads if Soundcloud disappears.
