Now that everyone's on Soundcloud, it's time--in classic friendster-is-so-last-month-let's-all-move-to-myspace fashion--to find a new domain to colonize. I propose mixcloud. It's a nice-looking and smooth-running site, with some interesting features--for instance, all tracklistings are hyperlinked, so other mixes featuring songs bya given artist are just a click away. Just cross your fingers for a future mp3 download button, or we may have to move again next month.
If you're already on Mixcloud: congratulations to you, you savvy stud. Add me as a friend. If you haven't signed up yet, hurry up while it's still in Beta mode; two weeks from now you'll be able to say: "Oh, Mixcloud? I've been on that site forever. It was good for a while, but lately DJcloud is where it's at."

Mixcloud isn't actually better, it's very similar with a few minor differences. The name smells like ripoff.
Soundcloud may be the first of it's kind, but that does not mean it can't stay the youtube of sound, right now it is.
It will not stop piracy. If there's no URL that I can find in the sourcecode or API, then I can always streamrip it.
