I have firefox but I don't want others to get popups just because they checked out my music or the site in general

Come to Reverbnation :-) I hate those bastards at Soundclick...

Ahh I see - my bad. I have a soundcloud.com page too. The plusses are that you can load wavs and other audio files of any file size instead of just mp3, so better quality - your free allowance is counted in actual minutes of play. You can also use it as a file transfer service by making upoladed files only available to certain individuals rather than public. The feedback is done in a different way, some ways better. Downsides - haven't figures out how to change the order of tunes so far, so they remain in the order you loaded them.
Haven't really used it that much to be honest, so might be something I'm missing. My experience of their customer service level is very good.

Why would you be mad at them?  Every time I go up now, I win something!  LOL.  I noticed that on Soundclick lately and I have pop-up blockers on.  I guess they gotta pay the bills?  I hear what you're saying, Tony. 

I never notice pop ups on SC. 
There might be one that appears that I don't notice till I close out the SC window.

sound click is convenient but it does have it's downside.

that cloud site is pretty decent.... and it streams.

I enjoy visiting Soundcloud as a member of the listening public.

+1 for Soundcloud or Reverbnation.

I see now Tony. Geez. How obnoxious all those video ads on SC just playing automatically. Not good.

I have noticed though when listening to music on Reverbnation that sometimes the sounds breaks up a lot.
More often than not. Anyone else notice this?

yes, I've noticed that too, Tim. 

and I also want to throw in my distaste for soundclick.  I have hosted songs on there until lately and now I use soundcloud and my own website. 

some of the popup ads on soundclick now even are the annoying ones that won't let you close them without poping another up!  I can't stand that.  tottally disrespectful of the user of the website and I will not stand for it.

but I was ranting in the songs forum just a couple of days ago about the automatic video player playing at the same time as the music.  can't stand that either.  and you can't shut it off without closing the window.

soundclick has just simply gotten out of control on the ads.  I'm gone.  I'll probably even close my account soon.

I'm using soundcloud for the first time and it sounds very close to what came out of my DAW. +1

Bill, you're link doesn't work (unless I have to be a member to access your tunes.)

I only use Soundclick, and I started with them because it seemed most of us on the forum were using it at the time I started.  But I have noticed some irritating pop ups lately even though I have pop ups blocked. 

Moving to another provider would be kind of a pain.  I've accumulated some fans on Soundclick.  Also, some have added my songs to their Soundclick radio stations.  Do I just abandon those people?  I can't see myself updating multiple providers - that would just add more work, however I see that a lot of people here do just that.

Question - If I pay for Soundclick (instead of using their free service) does it stop those irritating pop ups?

One thing I don't like about Soundclick is that you can't easily jump to any part of the song without waiting for the darn thing to stream.  Soundcloud, Reverbnation and even Myspace lets you jump to anyplace in the song by clicking.

Another thing - I was in Italy last year, and I had some people try to play my Soundclick songs and it crashed their computer - multiple times.  They just couldn't get it to run with the Soundclick player.

Soundcloud looks cool, but if you can't order the songs that's kind of a problem for me.

Yea me too I hate those crappy adds on my SoundClick , I click on the one that pops up and that's it for me .
Not sure if that happens with a paid account , mine is always free .
