The Internet radio market is about to get more crowded. According
to Billboard, 7digital announced Thursday a new streaming radio solution that
will help smaller services better compete with names like Pandora, Clear
Channel and Apple.
The service provides an enhanced API and capabilities that
allow companies to launch their own DMCA-compliant Internet radio service in
the United States .
7digital partners -- from music startups to brands -- will have access to the
company's entire catalog of over 23 million tracks. 7digital will handle the
reporting of digital performance royalties to SoundExchange.
Vickie Nauman, 7digital President - North
America , says the company chose to create a radio solution after
receiving requests to help powering the backend of a DMCA-compliant radio
service.
With Pandora going mainstream, iHeartRadio grabbing a large
share of the U.S. Internet market and Apple about to launch its own radio
service, the company saw a need for a solution aimed at smaller companies.
