(Very) occasionally people ask me for a song that I've written. It's easy to give them the words but passing on the tunes is more difficult. My son said he puts his music on "Soundcloud" (He's young so he understands things like computers). What are the problems associated with this? I'm thinking legal, privacy etc rather than technical – if it's going to be technical it's a non-starter anyway.

I don't have a webcam or video camera (are they still called that?) for recording and there's no way I'm going to have a picture of myself singing on YouTube so that isn't an alternative.

As background; I can record myself singing into my computer using the inbuilt "Windows" software and a cheap microphone. I'm not going to get anything more complicated. I have neither the musical nor the technical ability for my songs and recording to be anything more than a means for someone who wants to, to learn the tune to a song to sing at a singaround.

How safe/suitable is Soundcloud for this?

(And, if anyone reads this who knows me – no, I'm not thinking of making a CD!)
