DJWavPool vs SoundCloud converters vs record pools
In shortSoundCloud converters are simple but deliver a compressed stream and live in a grey area. Record pools are legal but cost $10 to $50 a month and miss SoundCloud edits. DJWavPool combines a pasted SoundCloud link, artist-cleared masters and a $6 monthly price.
