Help / FAQ
1.

How do I tune in (or listen)?

 
To listen, first click the "Listen" link using the Navigation bar on the left side of the page.  This will launch our "LoudCity" web page in a new window, where you will find a button that looks like this:

Click the "Tune In" button on our LoudCity web page and a "built-in" music player will be launched in a new frame at the top of the LoudCity page.  The music will begin playing in a few seconds. 

Please note that it is NOT necessary to login to LoudCity, register or become a member in order to listen, regardless of how you listen. That is optional.  Listening to this station is free, no strings attached.

   
2. Why am I routed to the LoudCity web page to listen?
  Due to licensing laws, we cannot legally provide a direct link to tune in from our website (www.RadioFreeAmericana.com).  That's because we do not hold separate licenses with the multitude of entities that, collectively, represent the recording industry.  Instead, LoudCity holds the licenses and we pay LoudCity a monthly fee that covers our share of royalties that are passed along to the recording industry.  Since LoudCity holds the licenses, laws require that the music content be launched from the LoudCity website (see FAQ #1 above).  And, of course, we aim to provide a legal service and assure that our fair share of royalties ultimately reach the artists and record companies.
