Indeed.....To understand information - you first must learn how to use it ;)
As Saint said those lists are just radio stations who report to Sound Exchange. Radionomy is a webcasting/radio hosting business.
I'd imagine Radionomy paid everything they're supposed to, otherwise they'd be in all sorts of trouble and IF if they hadn't paid anything in royalty payments we would have heard about it by now.
This is what someone from their support dept said on their forums. https://board.radionomy.com/viewtopi...&t=4363#p26717
Yes, Radionomy pays all royalties through SABAM. SABAM, in turn, pays-out through its various affiliates worldwide.
They wouldn't be able to keep something like that quiet not in these days of Social media.
I have already done my searches of Google to try and verify your claims so I'm far from lazy (as you put it)You are a lazy person
TIP: You have to get your facts correct before you write a post.
Which is something you seem to have failed to do.
IF you can't give us TRUE hard facts/information then how the hell are we supposed to believe you?
I'd still love to know why you think I'm a troll (sic) just for asking for cold hard facts instead of GOSSIP!

Trip - the first two are for stations - not webcasting services. Even Stream Licensing is not listed - so your saying Marvin has not paid either ?

Yep, I can confirm by checking the links that Streamlicensing is on there.
Webcaster STREAMLICENSING.COM
But also have to wonder too if Radionomy were not paying license costs, how they are still going? Surely someone would have clammered down onto them by now.
I would be interested in seeing why Radionomy are not paying licensing costs (if this is correct), and what is being done about it. Maybe because they are owned by Universal, universal are paying the fees on behalf of Radionomy on a third party basis?

I just started streaming through Radionomy after years of being with Live365. I was unsure at first and am still a little skeptical. However, I was able to sign up quickly. I just added one of their streams to the planner and was instantly giving the live URL and port. So far, so good. I am still trying to figure out the whole ad thing and how to trigger ads, but I have to say after going with them this last week, my listenership has been steady.
The thing with Radionomy is that your live stream is cut off if there are no listeners. It will only reconnect when there is at least one listener, so you need to have the encoder set to automatically check every few seconds in order to stream live. So, I needed to upload my content to their servers so that when people connect, they are not listening to some random top 40 stream or something. So, I did that and things seem to be working. I have continual listeners for the last 48 hours.
I really wanted to do something with streamlicensing, but their prices went up, too. So I thought I would try Radionomy and build my station more (and perhaps get some sponsorships). At my level, streamlicensing would cost me $700 a year and that was something I just couldn't pull at the moment.
The problem that I see is trying to maintain the minimum listening hours with Radionomy so that my station isn't arbitrarily deleted. My station has never had that many listeners,. But, I've got 6 months to get to that point. We'll see.....

Bruce, please, please enlighten me. How do you ad a stream to your planner?
I've never been able to work it out, and the staff on there keep pointing me off to help files that are TL DR.
If you could break it down in simple step form, it would be much appreciated.
Went into planner and again just talks about boxes. Doesn't note anywhere how to add a stream, still don't get a live URL and port. This is the very thing that's grilling me off about these people.Last edited by 2prfm.com; 02-10-2016 at 12:37 AM.

It's kinda clunky, to be sure. Especially after years of using SAM and dealing with clockwheels and PAL.
"Boxes" are places to store media and streams, etc.
1. What I did was make a "Smartbox" and labeled it STREAMS. Then, a list of streams should come up. Click the streams that you want to put into this box. You then hit the "Refresh" button and you'll see all of the songs in that stream.
2. Next, click on CLOCKS. This sets up a "clockwheel" like you would do in something like SAM. You need to name this "clock and hit the "+" Once you do, another screen will come up and here is where you drag your box labeled streams into your new clock. You can drag it several times so it repeats every hour.
3. Once you finished filling your clock, go to "Day Templates." Here is where you create a larger box for particular day schedules. Name your Day Template, like "Daily Rotation" or something like that. Then drag your Clock that you just made into the day template.
4. Finally, click on "Planning." For each day on the calendar, drag your new day template onto the days of the calendar and a playlist will automatically generate. Fill the entire week or so. Under each day, once a playlist is created, it should say "Generated."
At this point, you radio station should be live, playing whatever songs from the streams you selected. Here's the thing: you will not get a live url unless someone is listening to the station. So, I opened up my stream in another tab. Let it play for a minute or two.
5. Go to settings and click on technical info. You should have a live url there with a port.
The way radionomy is set up requires that there be a listener in order to stream live. So, if you have no listeners, Radionomy will automatically go to automatic mode. That is the reason I uploaded 1000 songs and station ID's and so forth. I want the station to be set up like my own station, playing my own music if someone hooks into the stream when no one else has been there. I don't want some random stream playing. It won't be seamless, however. I have my SAM encoder set to reconnect after every 10 seconds of being disconnected--so there will be at least 10 seconds of auto play before my live stream kicks in.
What will happen is, with a slight lag, the music from Radionomy will fade out and my live stream will fade on.
I have thought about keeping a computer on in my basement constantly streaming the station so that it is always live.
Hope this helps.

Bruce, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, for explaining all this to the rest of us.
Yep, my stream from radionomy is up and going, I've chosen "Soft hits" under pop. I'll be running my 80s 90s and now CHR station for a while for testing, more or less an experiment at this stage, because my opinion of Radionomy is still rather low, hopefully this will change in time.

Bruce DJ - you should put together a tutorial for Radionomy - and have James publish it for you. Several people have mentioned that the documentation on the Radionomy Website is poorly written at best. You would be a huge hit !
Also - FYI - I contacted Radionomy regarding royalty payments - and this is their reply ...
Our terms & conditions clearly mention that Radionomy hosts and streams all the web radios created on our platform and supports all the costs including music rights.
You, as a producer, have signed the “producer pact” with Radionomy, so you are covered regarding music rights, also in the US.
If they have any questions, music rights companies should contact Radionomy.
Best regards.
