The LoudCity Difference

With royalty coverage, no setup fees, a 10 day free trial, no forced in-stream commercials and a high-traffic listener portal, LoudCity is proud to provide a platform for over 700 small internet radio stations.

LoudCity isn't free, but you have total control over your stream. That's the LoudCity difference.

Six easy steps to being a DJ at LoudCity...

Make sure your MP3 files are tagged correctly using software like MediaMonkey (free)
Get your DJ software - SAM Broadcaster, Winamp (free), Station Playlist are all good
Get a Shoutcast server - See our recommended hosts for suggestions. Note that most "free" providers are not compatible with LoudCity due to their restrictions on how listeners may tune in.

Get your server online and software to make sure it's all working, and start broadcasting
Sign up with LoudCity for royalty coverage and complete your setup.
Send listeners from your website (if you have one) to LoudCity to tune in.
