This time, instead of writing about Streema, we’ll ask:  what would you like to have on Streema?

We are opening this to anyone who has any idea, and we mean: ANY idea, feature, whatever that you would like to have on Streema.  So far, we’ve heard that it would be great to access Streema in your car; to know the name, band, discography of every played song in any station; to interact with a radio DJ just from our application… we think the possibilities are infinite, so we encourage you to think about anything.  Maybe, one day we may satisfy all of them… you never know.  For now, just let us know about them!  :)

As for the question in the title…  “It’s not true that I had nothing on. I had the radio on.” -Marilyn Monroe

We just posted about radio-related news recently, but what happened last week was so important for the online radio industry that we wanted to share it with you.

So, the news is that SoundExchange, the digital music fee collection agency owned by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), and the “pureplay” webcasters announced that they reached royalty agreement until 2015.  After a few long years of negotiations, it finally happened!  Basically, this new deal involves a discount on the rates for large webcasters, and offers smaller webcasters percentage-based payment options.  By the way, by “pureplay” we mean webcasters such as Digitally Imported and RadioIO, although companies such as Pandora Media, Inc. were also involved.

We’re bringing you this piece of news because this represents a very positive change in the industry moving forward, enabling small webcasters to stay in business and continue bringing you, the radio listener, the best music out there. And that’s a great reason to celebrate.  : )

Stay tuned!

As most of you already know, Michael Jackson passed away yesterday.  It’s a very sad time.

Since we don’t want to repeat what has already written everywhere else about arguably one of the greatest all time performers in music history, we decided to look around the web for radio stations that only play Michael Jackson.  We uploaded one to share with you, called MJTunes – Michael Jackson Radio, where you’ll find his music – songs, remixes, concerts… everything about him.  If there are any other MJ radios we should have, please let us know.  We’ll make that a priority.

Goodbye, King of Pop.

So, we have some more good news: today we released a new application for Facebook called “Streema Radio Tuner for Pages“. If you have a Facebook Page, this application is for you!

“Streema Radio Tuner for Pages” allows you to add a radio station to your Page, so that visitors can listen to radio directly from there. Clearly, we weren’t satisfied with only one application, so we created another one! :P

Jokes aside, what happened was that many Radio Owners, DJs, and Producers wanted to include our classic application “Streema Radio Tuner” on their Pages, so we figured we’d give them a way to do that.

With this new application, we hope to approach many Radio Page owners or any Page administrators who want to improve their visitors’ experience. This is something really new, so we look forward to receive your feedback!

Stay tuned!
