AirPlay Direct Celebrates One-Year Anniversary
Online company streamlines artist promotions by directly serving today’s music industry. www.AirPlayDirect.com
Atlanta, GA - AirPlay Direct is an easy to use digital music promotion system that was developed to streamline label and artist promotion activities for today’s music industry. AirPlay Direct’s free services replace the unnecessary time and expense of putting together and sending out costly traditional artist packages and press kits via “snail mail.”
In just one year, AirPlay Direct has experienced exponential growth to become a global leader in digital music delivery services directly to radio stations, saving independent artists over $1,000,000 in postage and material costs to date. To celebrate, AirPlay Direct is offering a contest to artists that create a free account in the next six weeks-a winner will be chosen every two weeks to receive an AirPlay Direct prize package that includes a “Featured Artist” spot on the web site, free marquee banner ads on the site and 15 “broadcast-quality” track uploads, a package valued at over $1,500.
AirPlay Direct offers two free digital content delivery services: digital music and Digital Promo Kits directly to radio professionals. AirPlay Direct’s securely delivers broadcast-quality music files from thousands of independent artists and record labels directly to radio programmers around the world. Artists can access free, real-time tracking reports to see which stations are downloading their songs, alleviating the need for sending costly promotional packages. The best part? This service is 100% free to artists, labels, and radio programmers.
Digital Promo Kits can be emailed to any music industry professional around the world. This concept may sound familiar, but AirPlay Direct takes it one step further in offering links to three broadcast-quality songs along with a visually appealing layout. But what makes AirPlay Direct truly different? The entire package is free! AirPlay Direct empowers artists to promote their music without the cost and effort associated with physical press kits.
It is no secret that the Music Industry paradigm is rapidly changing; more and more, industry professionals and content providers alike are turning to digital methods of obtaining and distributing music, especially in the business-to-business realm. Enter Robert Weingartz, Founder and CEO of AirPlay Direct. As a music industry veteran, Weingartz envisioned a set of exciting new ’smart tools’ aimed at helping to educate and empower the rapidly growing community of professional independent musicians. Simply, Weingartz saw the missing link: create cost-effective tools to enable independent artists and labels to easily and effectively market their music to entertainment industry professionals.
If you ask Weingartz if AirPlay Direct is a magic bullet, he will quickly note that marketing is a comprehensive field and that AirPlay Direct is just one facet to creating a great marketing program: “If you are willing to work hard and smart, these resources will truly help to level the playing field for you.”

Prohibition Entertainment Releases New Traedonya Single via AirPlay Direct
Prohibition Entertainment a NYC based boutique independent record label and AirPlay Direct have formed a marketing alliance in regards to R&B /crossover vocalist TRAEDONYA. Her single ”BELOVED” will be delivered to radio stations worldwide via www.AirPlayDirect.com This will allow Prohibition to save a substantial amount of money by not having to send out hard copy promotional packages to radio stations.
“Radio servicing (just packages, not promotion) is a punitive cost to most independent labels and artists. Servicing can run into thousands of dollars and you have returns which will also increase costs” says A.K Smith-Ford , Founder of Prohibition. AirPlay Direct’s FREE services will allow us to put the money saved into other key areas… marketing and promotion.
“TRAEDONYA is a Featured Artist on AirPlay Direct and radio programmers and music industry executives are able to check out TRAEDONYA at www.airplaydirect.com/music/bands/3117/
“AirPlay Direct’s approach will continue the revolution and evolution of the music industry in the digital arena. Radio is an ‘achilles heel’ to most independent labels and artists because we can’t compete for ‘Clear Channel’ against the big 4 labels. AirPlay Direct has helped to level the playing field.” said A.K.
Prohibition was established in 1999 in the U.K and USA to be a full-service label in the new digital music world.
