Soundcloud alternatives?

Hello, I've had many uploaded songs automatically deleted now on Soundcloud and am feeling pretty frustrated with roll20 and Soundcloud. I've purchased all the individual songs (its not pirated music) I plan to listen to but I am unable to share it across Soundcloud to roll20, where I ultimately wish to play for my roll20 campaign. I am not trying to make monetary profit off the music or claim it as my own, I just want to find a way to play it for my players, without hours of more frustration and set-up. So enough of my rant, are there any programs or means I can use to share my music that people are willing to share? Am I uploading songs to Soundcloud wrong? Any suggestions? Please help if you've found any work-arounds. I really enjoy roll20 but figuring out personal tunes has been overly difficult. Thanks.
I'm not sure on how to use soundcloud but there are options to add music as the "background" to your voice-chat using software on your comp. If you're interested in this solution feel free to send me a PM and we'll see what we can set up. (please be warned, I haven't looked into that sort of stuff myself, yet, so it might take a bit of fiddling to get it together for you)

<a href="https://soundcloud.com/terms-of-use#your-content" rel="nofollow">https://soundcloud.com/terms-of-use#your-content</a> Hi Heather, these are the terms and conditions of Soundcloud. Frustrating as you may find it Copyright law prohibits you from uploading that material even though you bought it. You do not have the right to duplicate or publicly broadcast it. I'd advise against discussing ways to circumvent these laws on the Roll20 forum, as this may be easily misconstrued as condoning it. I agree wholeheartedly that Copyright law is unfair in this respect but it's neither Soundcloud nor Roll20 to blame.
If I might suggest, there are some decent sound, sound effects, and noises that can be had through Soundcloud. Please refer to the following link. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QZkR07QP-azF860W7ZqQj1O0Cpt-hRS-rNGf1eDT_qc/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QZkR07QP-azF860W7ZqQj1O0Cpt-hRS-rNGf1eDT_qc/edit?usp=sharing</a>
Thanks for your responses. I will search soundcloud for more sounds (thanks for your suggestions, Razir) and if desperate, I'll contact the owners of the tunes I wish to "broadcast" in my campaign to a small audience. It would be nice if in the future, roll20 could at least pull from other radio-like sites, like mixcloud, 8-tracks, pandora just to offer more alternatives and music sources for campaigns.
This would be nice, yes :) Alternatives are always good. And to be fair, she asked for alternatives to soundcloud, and so long as she plays them within a private setting, like a voice-call, it's all a-ok according to the law. (uploading it on a public site, like soundcloud, is of course not, there's no arguing that) Hence why I suggested just tacking it onto her audio-out stream for the call :)
