AirPlay Direct Celebrates one-year Anniversary
Atlanta-based digital music promotions company AirPlay Direct recently celebrated its one-year anniversary. The pioneering business serves as a digital middleman, helping to connect independent musicians with radio professionals for no charge to the artists, labels or the radio industry. AirPlay Direct securely delivers broadcast-quality music files from thousands of independent artists and record labels directly to radio programmers around the world. Once artists sign up, they can submit up to three songs to be digitally sent to radio stations. Once their songs are uploaded, artists can track their progress and see which stations are downloading their songs.
Founder and CEO Robert Weingartz started AirPlay Direct to educate and empower independent musicians. Weingartz saw the music industry and promotions becoming increasingly digitally based and identified an opportunity to bring one part of the promotions process up to date. AirPlay Direct streamlines label and artist promotion activities by eliminating the time consuming and often expensive process of mailing press kits out to individual stations. Since the company launched last year, AirPlay Direct estimates that it has saved independent artists over $1,000,000 in postage and material costs. www.AirPlayDirect.com www.performermag.com
