Listeners
AS220 Jukebox provides for the democratization of audio played and listened to around the periphery of the AS220 Bar and Restaurant. Listen to a wealth of Rhode Island music/audio and know that each play supports local music through a percentage of the profits being deposited directly into the pockets of musicians that live within the Rhode Island community. Enjoy the added possibility that the audio/music featured within the machine might only exist in a form not suitable for live performance. Know that the uncensored/unjuried freedom provides for the possibility of a wide-range in audio selection with a total of approximately 187,500 audio tracks all awaiting play for the super-saver price of a quarter.
Artists
Reclaim culture by making culture and in turn having it showcased in the AS220 Jukebox. Each song costs a quarter per a play with 70% of the proceeds going directly into your pocket; 30% being donated to AS220. Payment of money will occur at Christmas time for those submitters who have earned an amount greater than $15.00.
Submission for audio/music is unjuried/uncensored which means that we, AS220, will not prohibit you from submitting audio provided that said audio is original music that you are authorized to license (created music, have been given the right to license the music). Songs will be verified prior to inclusion within the Jukebox. More details and the actual process can be obtained by registering an account and logging in.
A submitted song must be less than one hour in length. All songs longer than 6 minutes will be segmented up into 6 minute chunks that can be played in full by a user inserting multiple coins and selecting to play each segment in turn. The jukebox currently has room for approximately 187,500 songs. The total amount of room may be expanded at any time without notice. Upon the current limit being reached, the jukebox will automatically begin removing least played songs ordered by date of submission, oldest first.
Currently there exists no limit to the rate of user submission. This is subject to change if abuses occur.
Music submitted may very well exist in the jukebox permanently. This is to provide for a historic perspective of audio/music in Rhode Island. However, the licensing of AS220 to your music is non-exclusive which means that you can remove audio from the jukebox at any time. To accomplish this please login and mark songs for removal.
