For Content Creators
You must be at least 18 years old to register and be legally able to grant copyight(s) to someone else. Thusly, 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 just for streaming but you get 100% of proceeds from sales. Your tracks are instantly added to our store, streaming "radio" and play-on-demand search tool. Each track is available to buy for a dollar ($1) and you get a dollar for each one sold. We cut checks once a month to the mailing address on file. This is the default method. It is used if no other form is specified or if something goes wrong with your preferred method. There is no minimum (or maximum!) to receive a check. We will opt to use PayPal® if provided. In the event of a snag, the default method is used. Keep your profile current as we are NOT responsible for misguided, lost or stolen checks.
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. You may delete your account anytime but doing so doesn't delete your stuff. Your stuff will be marqued for deletion during routine system maintenance.
Drop us a line with any questions.
