The platform

What is SoundCloud

SoundCloud is a streaming platform built around a large creator community and direct artist-to-fan engagement. It supports fan-powered royalties and is a key home for emerging and independent music, with strong reposting, commenting and discovery culture.

How it works

How limbo/ delivers
to SoundCloud

You deliver once to limbo/, by API or dashboard, and limbo/ runs the full SoundCloud supply chain. Metadata is validated before anything ships.

1
Via Merlin

limbo/ reaches SoundCloud under its agreement via Merlin Network, of which it has been a member since 2014, so you get negotiated access without a re-aggregation layer, and your royalty data stays inside limbo/.

2
DDEX-native pipeline

ERN 4.3 and 3.8.2, selected per platform. Metadata is validated before queueing, so broken submissions fail fast with line-level reasons instead of silent rejections.

3
Monetization

Delivered under limbo/'s agreement via Merlin Network with monetization enabled, so your catalog earns on SoundCloud's programs while UGC usage is tracked and attributed back to you.

Why limbo

Why deliver to SoundCloud
through limbo

/
Truly independent

Founder-owned, no major labels, no VCs. Your royalty and catalog data is never shared with the companies you compete with.
