Guidelines For Submission - Recording Artist
To submit your demo on Hard Salsa Radio for review and for airplay please
follow the guidelines below:

1. Music must be Salsa.  Please no regaetton and no bachata.  Your music
may contain light regaetton and some bachata breaks but the majority of
the music must be Salsa.  You may submit a Salsaton song.

2. We accept only MP3 at least 128Kbps or higher.  MP3 must be DRM
code free.  Our broadcast system can not play MP3's that are DRM coded.

3. MP3 must be tagged properly with The Artist Name and The Title of The
Song.  
Example: Hector Lavoe - El Cantante.mp3  Songs that are
Incorrectly tagged can result in the failure of listeners seeing the name of
the artist and song that is playing on the listener's player.

4. Offensive language in your lyrics is strictly prohibited.  Yes, we are an
internet radio station that is not sanctioned but we have listeners that may
get offended with inappropriate language.

5. If You Recorded a cover song make sure you have the licensing rights
from the publisher.  We will play the song on the air but if we receive a call
from publishers stating the artist does not have licensing rights to the song
we will pull the song out from the playlist.  Artist will be informed the song
was pulled from the playlist.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. HOW OFTEN WILL MY SONG BE ROTATED ON THE PLAYLIST?
You're song will be rotated every 4 to 5 hours.

2. HOW LONG WILL MY SONG REMAIN ON THE PLAYLIST?
Hard Salsa Radio receives reports on how many listeners were listening
to a particular song when it aired and how many listeners disconnected.
For example, lets say for the month of January 5,000 listeners listened to
your song and 2,500 disconnected that is a 50% drop rate. If the drop
out rate was during peak time when we have a high count of listeners
Hard Salsa Radio will air the song off peak time when there are less
listeners mainly about 1am to 8am EST.  Please understand if your song
has a high dropout rate, it can hurt other artist that is airing on Hard
Salsa Radio.  If you song has a 60% drop out rate, the song will be pulled
out permanently from our playlist.

3. HOW DOES MY SONG THAT HAS A HIGH DROP OUT RATE HURT
OTHER ARTISTS?
If a song had a 50% dropout rate, that mean 50% of listeners did not get
to hear the proceeding songs on the playlist because they disconnected.
That is not fair for the artist that has a song that was aired right after a
song that had a high drop out rate because they now have fewer
listeners listening to their song.  We are certain you feel the same way
and do not want a song played before yours that has a high dropout rate
because you will have less listeners.
