Audio sharing site Yourlisten.com, founded by Scott Goodman, hopes to become the audio version of Youtube. They are well on their way as they recently announced their 100,000th audio upload. That’s definitely not too shabby for an audio file sharing site not based in Silicon Valley, and having to deal with the fallout from sites like MegaUpload.
Yourlisten.com is a free user-generated network that allows flexibility for uploading just about any kind of audio file. You’ll find a variety of music, podcasts, ringtones, interviews, soundbytes and other audio files on Yourlisten.com. The user can share the audio on the site, with friends and across social networks.
You would be surprised at the types of audio files that you can find on yourlisten.com. It’s not the site of the day out there to replace sites like megaupload. There are a lot of spoken word poetry pieces, international interviews and songs by new and undiscovered artists. A quick perusing of the site found that WTOP radio in Washington DC (one of the top billing radio stations in the country) uses Yourlisten.com to host interviews for people to listen to if they miss them during the original broadcast.
More after the break
Users can upload audio pretty quickly that’s under 100mb and use their embed player to put it onto their website, or social network pages.
“We are very proud of the progress we have made so far,” said president and founder Scott Goodman. “We have reached a goal that we have been working toward since day one, and we hope to continue to provide a high quality network for users on an even greater scale.”
Goodman recently reported on Angellist that Yourlisten saw more traffic in 2011 than all of their previous years combined. They debuted in 2008. He also reports that all this growth has come despite the fact that they still have no full-time employees.
