What You Should Know About LiveOne

Slacker Radio and LiveOne

LiveXLive renamed itself LiveOne in 2021. Its music-streaming arm is Slacker Radio, which pairs on-demand listening with curated stations, playlists and live content. LiveOne also runs podcasting and live and virtual events.

Radio-Style Streaming and Royalties

In the US, radio-style (non-interactive) streaming falls under the Section 114 statutory licence, which SoundExchange administers. Registering with SoundExchange is how artists and labels collect the performance royalties from those plays.

Tips for Success

  • Make sure you are registered with SoundExchange to collect US performance royalties from radio-style plays
  • LiveOne documents no artist portal, so get your artist details right in LabelGrid before delivery
  • Include ISRCs and full contributor credits so plays are matched to the right recordings
