When uploading a Podcast to the URY Website, certain guidelines must be met, both to comply with licencing restrictions and to meet certain quality guidelines. This policy lists things you cannot do with podcasting, but also intends to provide alternative options.
The Policy
* URYPlayer Podcasts must not include beds from the Beds and Beats service. You can easily identify these within the Beds playlist as they have information after the name in brackets, e.g. (Full 2min). See solution A. * URYPlayer Podcasts must not contain any amount of a track from URY's Central Music Library, unless you can confirm a licence is held outside our PPL or PRS agreements that allows us to do so. Certain Promo albums may have this. It is a common misconception that up to 30 seconds of a track may be used for free. This is not the case.
The Options
Solution A
Mixcloud is a budding Cloud service that is fully licensed by the relevant companies. If you provide tracklists, then you can upload entire shows unedited. The only restriction is that a Mixcloud upload must contain at least eight tracks.
URY does not currently have an active policy or procedure for using this service, but here are some tips:
* Ensure your show is tagged ((URY)) * You can view the tracklist for your show on the URY Website
