UPDATE: Check out our guides on Authentication and Sharing Sounds for the most recent information. If you build an app or web service that generates any type of sound, it's easy to connect it to SoundCloud and enable your users to share their creations across the web. Allowing users to share what they create to their existing social networks and the SoundCloud community brings great value in a variety of use cases. If you have an app for beat making, you can let your users post their creations to a dedicated group on SoundCloud. For aspiring music makers, it's valuable and fun to get feedback from friends on Facebook. And for someone recording an interview with their phone, it's super handy to be able to post the audio directly to a blog. In addition, a sharing feature is obviously practical for sending files to collaborators or moving audio between devices.
