For Content Creators

You must be at least 18 years old to register and be legally able to grant copyight(s) to someone else. Thus, you hereby grant us royalty-free, unlimited, unrestricted, transferable, unrevokable, non-exclusive copyrights for all uploaded content for a timespan of 50 yearsEssential for sorting by decade . This means you may still have your stuff up on other websites, so long as they allow it; As this is a free service for you, no monies are earned for streaming but you get 100% of proceeds from sales. Your tracks are instantly added to our store, streaming service and play-on-demand search tool. Each track is available to buy for USD $1.29, and you get a dollar for each one sold. The 29¢ covers processing and taxes.

We cut checks once a month to the mailing address on file. There is no minimum (or maximum!) to receive a check. A paper check is the default method. We prefer to use PayPal® or Venmo™. If you provide us your tag, we will opt to use it first. In the event of a snag, the default method is used. Important! Keep your profile current. We are not responsible for lost, misguided, or stolen monies.

The audience votes on tracks in real time. Popular tracks stay on the stream while "poopular" tracks get archived. Your Artist Homepage displays upvotes, downvotes, upload date, sales and status (whether it is currently "active" or "archived"). Archived tracks are not streamed on the radio but are accessible through our convenient play-on-demand search feature.
