Earbits: No Promoters, No Limitations - Just Excellent Music

Radio
About five years ago, the only online radio stations that most people where familiar were Pandora or Yahoo Radio. Enter Earbits: an online radio station/marketing platform that boasts a healthy selection of known and unknown artist on their commercial free network. If Pitchfork had an online radio format it would probably sound like Earbits. Earbits is a marketing platform for bands/labels disguised as Internet and mobile radio which everyone can enjoy for free, without ads. Earbits streams hours of great music without commercials; it offers true music discovery and a direct connection to artists through their Facebook page. Earbits is flexible and supports the listener, bands and the music community differently than other radio platforms - skip, share and interact with your friends and the artists at anytime. At the end of the day, we differ in that Earbits is all about the music - no advertisers, no restrictions - just great music.
Because most of the artists that you play are indie, do you think Earbits appeals more to that audience that supports indie music?

Earbits offers both casual listening, sharing of music and true music discovery in every genre from blues to metal to country. We appeal even more to people that like discovering new and emerging music, but certainly you don't have to be an audiophile to love Earbits.
On Earbits, you will hear a few well-known artists as well as many brand-new-to-you bands. Listeners enjoy immediate discovery of several great artists that they've never heard of, and get really excited about it. Earbits has proven that it is a powerful and successful marketing platform for bands. We've helped one of our artists get her songs licensed for a short film on BET. As of now, three artists we highlighted are in contract review with Spectra.

We envision a future where Earbits finds talent, proves through our data that people love their music, connects them with the right label and other partners to get a deal done, and then helps those partners market the artists on a massive scale through our platform.
With all the different apps and music curation services being created, how does a company like Earbits separate itself from the masses?
High-quality music - check. No ads - check. Share music you find with friends - check. Connect with the artist and learn more - check.
Earbits brings to the table many things that are not offered elsewhere - free, true music discovery without ads, limitless skip and easy sharing capabilities and a direct connection to the band to keep up to date on their latest album, tour or news.

Everything on Earbits is about the music you're listening to right now and having the option to learn more, share that music or converse with the performer. We're also creating a much closer connection between the listeners and the artists. What is the long-term vision for Earbits?
Earbits has always been about helping great musicians market themselves without spending a lot of time doing it. At the same time, we strive to offer a free, simple and elegant no-ad music listening platform.
