Yeah, exactly. If you want to do it, go for it!
The MixCloud team approached us about 6 months ago asking us to develop
some sort of integration, but ultimate could provide no financial support
for us so nothing happened. I spoke with them and they understood our
situation, which is that all our developers were busy fixing bugs or
working on features with a higher impact for our users. They were also
unable to develop the feature themselves. We can't ask any of our devs to
stop what they're developing (in our free time, mind you) because some
company wants feature X. Either there's money involved or else nobody will
want to stop working on their own cool new features.
That said, if you DO want this feature, by all means go for it. We want
some cloud integration, it's just that nobody else wants to do it. :) The
project is yours for the taking, and I'm sure it'll be appreciated by both
our development team and our users.
Thanks,
Albert

Is it all just about a preference page and a upload button in the recording
view?
