Most likely, you're agreeing to give them those rights regardless of how you might be licensing your works for other people's consumption through their servers. It's a moot point, though, since their terms also include these: "USER irrevocably waives the right to assert any claim against SOUNDCLOUD or any of its respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, employees, agents, directors, officers or shareholders in relation to the Content generated, uploaded, transmitted or otherwise used on SOUNDCLOUDâs Website or Services, including, but not limited to, copyright, trademark, unfair competition, invasion of privacy, breach of contract or breach of confidentiality." TLDR: Even if we violate this agreement, you agree you can't sue us for it. Or anyone we do business with, pretty much. So, no, I don't see myself using Soundcloud for my music.
