1)
What is Rule Radio?
Rule Radio is a site for musicians to display their work and a
site for music lovers to find new music that is not censored by
the large corporate owned radio stations. For each song
you purchase, you are supporting that artists ability to
continue making music. They receive a large percentage of
the profits from each download.
2) What software do I need to use your site?
Right now, we only support Microsoft's (c) Media Player.
This was decision was because most computers have this program
already installed from the factory. We do not like having
to download software on our computer and did not want to force
our customers to have to either. The streams and audition
files use .wma files while the downloaded music files are MP3 at
128K or higher.
3)
Do I have to register to listen to the radio streams?
We
intentionally chose not to require the casual listener to
register. We like to think of it as window shopping before
your first purchase. However, you must register to
purchase songs. We are trying to minimize any advertising
on our site which can only be supported by the sale of music.
Each person listening to the stream costs bandwidth and we ask
that you purchase songs to help cover the expenses.
Otherwise we will have to look to advertising revenues to offset
bandwidth costs, which we want to limit as much as you do.
4)
What audio format do you use?
Our
downloaded music format is MP3 with resolution of 128K or
better.
5)
What connection speed is required for Rule Radio?
While our streams can be heard using a 48.8K modem, it is not
recommended to download songs using less than a DSL connection.
DSL, Cable, T1 or similar high speed connection is best suited
for maximum benefit of Rule Radio. For example, a typical
song may take 10 minutes to download using a 48.8K modem while a
cable connection can usually download the same song in under a
minute.
6)
How much do songs cost at Rule Radio?
Each song cost $0.99 per download. Due to the significant
transaction costs (minimum of $0.30 per transaction) of small credit card charges, we offer a
discount to frequent purchasers. See the pricing page for
details.
7)
How do I pay?
We
accept Visa, Master Card, Discover Card and American Express.
We use PayPal for our credit card processing due to their
significant security measures for both the customer and Rule
Radio. PayPal's security
features and privacy policy can be viewed on their
site here.
8)
What if I don't like what I downloaded?
Since digital music is unlike a product you purchase at a store,
you can't return it and we can not refund your money after you
download it. We encourage you to listen to the songs in
its entirety via the radio stream or the 30-second sound clip in
the audition very thoroughly prior to your purchase.
