After many
frustrations with the disorganization and carelessness of SoundCloud,
billing problems with ReverbNation, and the lack of a useful consumer
interface on Bandcamp, we decided to create Orfium. It's an open free
hosting platform and marketplace for musicians, and a music discovery and
listening platform for fans. Content providers are in complete control of
how their music gets heard with no long-term contracts, and all services
simply offered non-exclusvely whenever possible, period.
