I took a brief look at Spotify. Do they allow covers?

I don't want to sign up anywhere that is going to bombard my email with advertising. And I don't want to pay money to post my songs.

Spotify and Apple and Tidal and Amazon need label sponsorship of an intermediary you pay to say they're your label.

That's a different thing than Bandcamp and Soundcloud.

If you want to offer downloads, Bandcamp is ideal. You can, in fact, download my full high resolution collection album from there...24/96...OR you can chose to download it as mp3 or whatever you want. I think it's nearly ideal for sharing finished products...which you can also put them up for sale...sell merch...connect with other artists, etc. I hope their recent buyout doesn't completely fuck it up.

But, for sharing here, I use Soundcloud because it's an easy embed and it doesn't confuse anyone following me on Bandcamp. They want to know when I have a new release...not when I'm hemming and hawing over whether my bridge is worthy of time spent...you know?

if it's for streaming only, then i'd say Youtube.

just because it's more prevalent than SoundCloud.

That IS a fair point, if you're willing to take the time to make a "lyric video" to go with. You can't just put audio on YouTube per se. So, where he could upload to Soundcloud right now...Youtube requires another process. But, sure--it IS a wider audience, and you can monetize views via commercials...
