Not necessarily. Members have three different payment options on Broadjam: credit card, PayPal or purchase credits.

Whether you run a search for a specific song or if you’re looking at a full list of songs – if a song is available for purchase, it will have a “Free” button next to it. If you’re looking at a full list of songs, there will be a link in the Details view in the right column that reads “download MP3: free.” Clicking on either of these will allow you to download the song, free of charge.

All visible songs on the Broadjam website are available for listening in a protected streaming format only. However, all audio output is vulnerable during playback to anyone with knowledge of digital audio and access to recording equipment. We can’t guarantee with 100% certainty that no one will ever be able to get your music without permission, but we will do our best to prevent it.
There are several ways of doing this, depending on what you’re looking for.
If you have something specific in mind (or at least a keyword), refer to the “Quick Search” bar at the upper-left corner of the page. Select the category you’re looking for (song, artist, etc.), type in the name you’re looking for and click the search button (the magnifying glass icon).
You can also find music by visiting a Broadjam Top 10 chart, browsing through other artists’ playlists, looking through the songwriting contest winners, viewing our music-licensing success stories and more.
Every song that appears on Broadjam will have a Play button next to it. Just click this button to play the song. Clicking on the song’s title will display the song’s statistics.
First login to your Broadjam account. Then place your cursor over “Song Reviews” in the navigation menu on the left and click on “Review Music.” On the following page, you’re welcome to select a specific song genre you’d like to review. Just click on the drop-down menu, select the genre of your choice and click on “Review Song.” You’re also welcome to review a song without specifying a genre. For this, click on “Review Random Song.”
Click the “Play” button at the top of the following page. The song will begin playing (though you will be unable to see the song title or the artist’s name). After you’ve listened to the song, fill out the review on the page by scoring the artist in the specified categories. If there are any categories that don’t apply or you’d rather not comment on, just click the “N/A” button for the category (which will not hurt the artist’s score at all).
Once you’re done scoring the song categories, you’ll see two text boxes below – one for positive comments and another for constructive feedback. Unless you think the song is fine the way it is, please include some constructive feedback for the artist as to how the song could be improved.
Upload refers to a transfer of a file from one system to another system. For example, a song file transferred from your hard drive to our web server.
Once logged into your Broadjam account, place your cursor over the “Songs” item in the navigation menu and select the “Add/Edit Songs” option. Then click “Add New Song” to start the process of adding music to your profile.
On the song metadata page, enter the all of the information about the song that you’d like. The top three fields are required (name, length and genre), but the rest are not. Once your information is entered, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the “Submit” button. On the following page, you’ll just need to browse your computer files and specify the MP3 file you’d like to upload. Click the “Submit” button once the file is selected.
Once you see the “success” message, your song will have been added to the encoding queue. Until the song is encoded, the status of the song will read “pending.” Once the encoding has been completed, the song will be activated and ready for use. The encoding time will depend on how many other songs are being encoded, but it generally takes up to 20 or 30 minutes. If it takes longer than a day, you may want to try re-uploading the song or contacting customer support.
You will see “Welcome Back, (your artist name)” at the top of the page.

Broadjam’s Transmit function provides the ability to send your songs to any recipient via a web link. The recipient can download and/or stream the songs you select. You are in complete control of who receives your songs. This is a great service as it saves you money in CD production and shipping as it delivers the content in digital format.
To use the transmit function login to your account, drag your cursor over “Songs” in the navigation menu and click on “Transmit Songs.” Click the Transmit button on the following page, select the songs you would like to transmit and then you may e-mail them off to whom ever you choose, or you can copy and paste the link to use later.

When paying for downloads with a credit card, you will pay a $.50 fee any time your payment is less than $4.95, the cost of 5 songs. This payment goes toward covering the charges imposed by credit card and the credit card processing companies, which is approximately $.50 in fees every time a credit card transaction is made. If the independent artist covered this fee, they would only get a few cents every time they sold a song. You help pay the independent artist fairly for their music by covering this expense for them. If you choose to use Download Purchase Credits, we will cover the transaction expense for both of you, so neither you nor the artist have to pay. This is just one of the benefits of paying with Purchase Credits.
We allow our members to make as many songs as they’d like available for free download. It’s a great way for artists to attract new fans.
Songs need to be at least 192kbps in order to be made available for download. To make your song available for free download, login to your account, hover over “Songs” in the left menu and select “Add/Edit My Songs.” Then click the “not free” link to the right of the song title, which will change it to “free.”

MP3 files are a special type of file, which uses the MPEG format. All MPEG files store audio in a compressed digital form. Currently the MPEG format defines 3 different categories: MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Each category describes 3 different layers of encoding: Layer 1, Layer 2 and Layer 3. A true MP3 file is an MPEG version 1, Layer 3 file. In order to streamline the processing of your files, Broadjam requests that all songs uploaded to us are encoded as MPEG version 1, Layer 3, 192 kbps (or higher) at 44.1 kHz (or 128 kbps at 44.1 kHz). Unfortunately, this setting can be obscured by some of the encoding programs that are in use, please consult the program’s manual for additional information.

If the player is visible but does not play double check that you have the most current version of Flash on your computer. Also check that your computer’s firewall settings are not blocking the Broadjam website. Download Flash.
