Songza Launches Shared Radio: Create a station, build it with friends, listen together

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Songza.com released today the simplest way for people to create their own radio stations, for free.

The new Songza.com gives users the ability to collaborate with friends, family, co-workers or even strangers to create the perfect shared station for any occasion, with a library of over 8,000,000 songs to choose from.

"Much of the joy we get from music comes from how it connects us to the people around us," said Elias Roman, CEO of Songza. "Songza is unique in making it easy for people to connect using shared, collaborative radio stations. We believe this makes for a far more social and relevant experience than radio based on 'experts' or algorithms analyzing tone and timbre."

Creating your own radio station on Songza is quick, free, and easy, and so is getting your friends and colleagues to add songs and help you improve it. Songza gives communities of any size and type -- from classmates to co-workers to party-goers -- a free and legal way to create the most relevant radio stations.

After serving more than 225,000,000 song streams in just over two years, the release marks an exciting new chapter in the company's history. The new Songza.com consolidates three streaming services (Songza Sets, Songza Radio, and the original Songza.com), incorporating many of their features and members as it moves forward pioneering social radio.

The new Songza is currently in beta with many features yet to be released, including mobile applications. The non-interactive radio service is DMCA compliant and ad-supported.
