The Benefits of Internet Radio

Internet radio is the best route for the indie artist to get their music exposed to the masses and it comes along at a time in which many of the local radio stations are being bought out by corporate conglomerates who dictate what is to be played on your local radio station.

There are many internet radio stations that will play your music. Live365 was in the first group of pioneers (along with Win Amp and Shout cast) to ever stream artist music over the internet. DJ’s are constantly looking for new music to play on their internet radio stations and some stations will even do live interviews with you or your band online!

Some internet radio stations have to pay a fee to performing rights societies, such as ASCAP, BMI or SESAC. So depending on what station your song is played on, you can get royalties from your music being played. Other radio stations are promotional stations which promote your music for free but usually no royalties are paid.

Use a search engine to find an online radio station concept that fits you and go to its web-site. Many of these radio stations have online submission of Mp3 files built into their site. Submit your music and start receiving airplay right away!
