Why Choose LoudCity?
Theme: Dark | Light

LoudCity mobile as it would appear on an iPhone™. (iPhone is a registered trademark of Apple, Inc).

With support for Shoutcast v1.x and v2.x, Icecast, and most DJ software packages, LoudCity makes setting up your own station easy.

Big enough to draw listeners, small enough to care.

LoudCity has been in business since 2005. Our established network sees over 500,000 listeners each month tuning in to over 700 stations, each independently managed and operated.

With no setup fees, a free introductory trial, and responsive US-based support, LoudCity offers you a great foundation on which to build your station.

At LoudCity, you pay a small monthly fee for royalty coverage. This means we don't inject ads into your stream. You are 100% in control. Of course, if you want to run in-stream commercials, you can... just be sure to count the revenue when signing up for service.

Royalty coverage is everything.

Broadcasting music protected by copyright on the internet requires licensing. This is true whether you play major label or indie, and whether you do it for fun or for profit. The penalty for broadcasting music without paying royalties can be as high as $100,000 per song.

LoudCity provides a platform for you to legally broadcast your music collection. We take care of reports and we make the royalty payments to SoundExchange, BMI, SESAC and ASCAP. You get to focus on your station and do what you enjoy.
