At this time, Wikia does not have any issues with you using the verbatim tag to embed music from other sites. In terms of licensing, it is up to the third-party site to make sure the content is properly licensed and allowed to be hosted. Verbatim does not actually import the file onto Wikia, merely embeds the player. However, I would ask two things of you or all users when importing from a music site. In the case of media, especially sensitive copyrighted media such as music, do not use verbatim to embed a file unless the site is clearly open to having embedded files. Obviously, in the case of Soundcloud, due to its sharing and embed tools, such sharing is welcome. Secondly, it is key netiquette to make sure such audio does not autoplay the audio. Autoaudio is one of the most negative user experiences on the internet, and that is why Wikia explicitly forbids autoaudio ads for our wikis and always actively contacts admins to politely request a change when we stumble upon an autoaudio page on a wiki.
