How To Get Free Streaming, Music Licensing, & Distribution Using Your Radio Automation Scheduler

If you use StationPlaylist, VirtualDJ, SAM Broadcaster, RadioDJ, RadioBosss (or many of the other top radio schedulers online) you may be paying for hosting, streaming, and music licensing that you don’t have to pay anymore.

Radionomy offers a no-cost streaming, music licensing and distribution platform for internet radio producers/stations. In addition to the no-cost services, Radionomy takes your station to all the major online radio directories automatically (and for free). Directories like iTunes, TuneIn, WindowsMedia, AppleTV, Sonos, and many more. They also offer a customizable HTML player that you can place on your website, blog, or social media site. Get an audience and Radionomy offers you a free mobile app dedicated to just your station for both iOS and Android devices.

Here is how it works….(radionomy.com/create)

1. Radionomy keeps its services ‘free’ because you barter with them for 4 minutes of air time per hour, which they sell to major brand advertisers via sister-company TargetSpot. TargetSpot is the largest digital ad network in the world serving more than 60 million impressions a month
2. Radionomy has a cloud-based automation system which they call the RadioManager online. You can use this as a back up stream should you lose connection with your encoder and the Radionomy servers.
3. Once you have created a free account, (sign up for an account here radionomy.com/create) and set up your back up stream (see instructions here: http://bit.ly/1wrHHCw) then you simple break into that streaming with your encoder- nicecast, eddcast, etc etc.

4. To get your LIVE URL for encoder simply go to the Settings link on your RadioManager (rmo.radionomy.com) and click on the TECH INFO link. You’ll see your IP and Port- create your password.

5. Next you’ll want to make sure you are triggering 2 ad stops an hour within your playlist. Check out this Radionomy Forum/Board instruction on how to set up simple triggers. Note: you must be logged onto radionomy.board.com or click on Forum in the RadioManager to see this post and instructions. http://board.radionomy.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=96

6. Once you have connected your station you can check out your station page on radionomy.com (search station name) and you’ll find your .m3u and click the player tab to find the HTML5 code for your custom player. Your direct URL is always listen.radionomy.com/stationname. Share, share, share. Radionomy will auto-list you on TuneIn, iTunes, Windows Media Player, Sonos and many many more.

7. Hit some big audience #s and Radionomy will start to pay you to stream.

8. Check out the STATS link on the RMO to get detailed into on what kind of audience and hours you are reaching day to day around the world.

Have fun and happy streaming for free! Online Radio has been freed to succeed.
