Supporting Sounds Of Christmas Artists

11/11/2014

First, thank you for visiting our website and for listening to the Sounds of Christmas.  It means a lot to us to be able to share this music, and the season, with you!

If you like what you hear, there are a couple ways that you can show some love and help out the singers and bands on our station.

As your listening, if you hear something you really like, you can easily buy almost any track. 

If you’re listening on Live 365, just click the artists name for info on getting the CD or mp3.  It will look a little something like this.

If you listen through this website, just click the little tiny cart on the player, which looks like this.

Another way is on the front page, where you’ll find rotating pictures of all the artists that are sponsoring us this year.  You can click on any of those and visit their website, learn more about them, like them on Facebook, follow them on Twitter and maybe even buy some of their music directly from them!

You can also click on LINKS above to see all the artists that have supported the Sounds of Christmas in the past, and you can visit their sites and see what they’re up to.

We have also partnered with Amazon, and if you click on NEW FOR 2014 above, you’ll see many of the new releases that we’re playing this year.  They’re posted in the order of release, so the newest music is at the top.  If you hear something new that you want to find out more about, you can click on it there, and hear sound samples on almost every one, so you can decide then if you want to buy it and add it to your collection!

Plus, in full disclosure, Amazon does pay us a little tiny bit for those that click through to go to their site from ours. 

So you can support the artists and the Sounds of Christmas at the same time!

And, of course, you can just listen (and maybe tell anyone you know who loves Christmas music to listen, too)!

And may you always believe in Santa Claus!

Rating Songs 2014

11/1/2014

I've gotten lots of questions about our top ten and how songs are rated, so I thought I'd jot down a couple notes about it.   

Live 365 rates songs in a couple ways.  The first is negative.  When you turn the station off, whatever song is playing gets a strike against it.  I don't know exactly how the math works on that, I just know that it counts against the song playing when you turn off the station.  So, the bottom line for this is - don't turn the station off on a song you like (if you can help it).  The best thing is to turn it off during one of the station I.D.'s or greetings.

To positively vote for a song, you need to listen through Live 365.  The player on their site has a couple small cartoon hands in the upper left corner (which you can see when you hover your mouse over it) - one hand gives a thumbs up and the other one gives a thumbs down.  Clicking on the thumbs up counts as a vote for that particular song.  I haven't experimented with it enough to know if clicking it lots of times means lots of votes, or if it's just one vote per person per song.

To be able to do this, you may have to set up an account with Live 365.  This is free, and just takes a couple minutes.  So if you want a vote in our weekly top ten list, go ahead and register with Live 365.

Since we have such an extensive on-air library, the top ten list changes almost every day during November, as all the music gets added.  By December, the library is pretty much set, though there's still a lot of fluctuation from one day to the next.  I'll do my best to post new lists on Friday's, so make sure you check back!

And if you want your voice to be heard, just register to listen to the Sounds of Christmas through Live 365, which you can do right here:  http://www.live365.com/stations/soundsofchristmas

Thanks so much for listening!  And may you always believe in Santa Claus!
