T<\/span>hank you for inquiring about how to get your music played on Seattle Wave Radio. We hand pick the artists who are part of Seattle Wave Radio. We\u2019re always listening to new music. At Seattle Wave Radio, we endeavor to support the music of Indie artists of Seattle\/Tacoma and the greater Pacific Northwest region \u2013 those artists who write, record, and promote their own music independently of major record labels. We consider it a real honor to provide an online radio stream where the music and the life stories of Indie Artists can be heard locally and globally. To help us further that goal, we invite Indie artists to submit their music for possible play on our station. There are some criteria, and ultimately we will decide if your music fits our format and criteria closely enough to make it on the air. Please understand, though, that we do not judge your music and if you are not selected for airplay on Seattle Wave Radio, it doesn\u2019t mean we don\u2019t like your music \u2013 we love all music! But we do have requirments\u00a0we closely follow.\u00a0We will bend and work with you as best we can to get you on the air if at all possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t
**PLEASE READ CAREFULLY OR YOUR SUBMISSION MAY BE DISREGARDED** It is important for the guidelines listed below to be followed. These guidelines are designed to quickly get your music on the air and maintain accuracy, not to be a burden.<\/h6>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

Here are the guidelines\u2026.<\/p>

MOST IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT is that\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>SUBMISSIONS NEED TO BE FORMATTED CORRECTLY<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/p>

+ \u00a0If at all possible, each song submitted is encoded in mp3 format at 128-kbps. (Our station streams at 128-kbps and does not require higher bitrates. Higher bitrates use valuable disk space.)<\/p>

+ \u00a0The song is a clean version (if possible). If the song contains vulgar language by FCC standards, then make sure to mark the song as \u201cdirty\u201d or \u201cunedited\u201d or “explicit”. Such songs may qualify for late-night programming.\u00a0<\/p>

+ \u00a0Fill out the ID3 tag on the mp3 (where you put the song name, artist name, album name, year, genre, album cover art, etc.). If you don\u2019t know how to do this, please include the band name, album name, and track-listing\u00a0for\u00a0the songs,\u00a0within your e-mail, or in the zip folder, or in the Dropbox folder.<\/p>

+ Include\u00a0a high resolution .jpg of the\u00a0album cover artwork.<\/p>

+ Please list the genre(s) of your music style.<\/p>

+ \u00a0When you send your songs to us via e-mail, be sure to send us up to 3 songs as an attachment. If you have more than 3 songs to send to us, please send multiple e-mail messages. However, the preferred method is to send us a Dropbox link.<\/p>
