Can I send you my CD?
Please don't. We are no longer accepting new music submissions on CDs. All that plastic & carbon-spewing transportation is sooooo 20th Century.
Instead, please pick the two or three best songs from your CD and upload them to our Listener Review Channel (see below for instructions). We will give them a quick listen, and if we think they might be suitable for RP we'll add them to the LRC stream to gather feedback from listeners. The three song per artist limit is strictly enforced. Uploading more than two songs will result in an automatic rejection. After those two songs have completed the review process, then you can upload more. |

Did you like my songs? Huh, did ya, did ya??
We get thousands music submissions every month so unfortunately, we don't have time to give feedback. In a few weeks, you could take a look in the RP library to see if anything's been added. Click the Music link, and fill in the artist name in the search box. |

Will you listen to my songs on MySpace?
No. Our time is very limited, and the LRC upload method is much more efficient for us. |
|
Can I just email you my songs?
No. Our time is very limited, and the LRC upload method is much more efficient for us. |

How do I upload songs to you?
First, you'll need a CBR (constant bit rate, as opposed to VBR) MP3 file, ripped directly from the CD or master track at 256kbps or 320kbps. There is no way to convert a lower bitrate MP3 file or a WMA file so that it will work for us. You will also need to register on our website if you haven't already. After logging in, click "Music & Artists", then "LRC/Upload", then "Upload Songs or Check Upload Status". This is where you can see the review status of songs you have previously uploaded. To upload a song, click the "Upload A File" link, and follow the directions in the popup window carefully.
Again, the three song per artist limit is strictly enforced. Uploading more than three songs will result in an automatic rejection. Once your songs have completed the review process (ie they are no longer shown as "new" or "reviewing" on your upload list), then feel free to send more. Please DO NOT upload music to the LRC to get "the reaction of other listeners" or "just for a joke" or "just for fun". It's a daunting task for us to sift through the many uploads. Please, we implore you to only upload music that you believe would be truly fitting for the station. |

How long does the upload review process take?
It can take anywhere from six hours to six months. If a song is added to the LRC stream (it will show on your list as "reviewing") it will probably take at least a month or so before a final decision is made. Pestering us will not speed up this process. |
|
How do I check the status of my uploaded songs?
You can see the status of your song uploads by clicking "LRC/Upload" (in the Music/Artists section), then click the link labeled "Upload Songs or Check Your Upload Status".
