KDAB® Radio Live365 Player example
Q: What is KDAB® Radio?
KDAB® Radio is a human-crafted 24/7 internet radio station, broadcasting from the marvelous village of Cambria, CA — serving not only the central coast of California — from Santa Cruz to Santa Barbara — but also the entire United States, Canada and the UK. Offering a diverse and multi-generational playlist, we're dedicated to bringing the art and expression of beautiful sound to all who listen, with love and light for the greater good of everyone everywhere. We say "human-crafted" — or "hand-crafted" — because the trend in internet radio and broadcast radio is toward programming where computers randomly pick the songs with little or no human interaction at all. We believe it's really important to preserve the connection between the presentation of beautiful music AND human interaction.
Q: WE LOVE THAT KDAB® RADIO IS COMMERCIAL-FREE — BUT, THEN, HOW DOES IT pay its bills?
KDAB® Radio is supported by donations from listeners like you! The income goes to pay the bills, buy more music, pay our online host (Live365) for streaming services, and also pay royalties in the form of copyright payments to the music artists and copyright holders via ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR, AllTrack, SOCAN, Re:Sound, PPL, PRS, and SoundExchange.
Q: HOW CAN I JOIN THE KDAB® TEAM OF SUPPORTERS?
You are welcome to join our team of supporters — learn more about this on our DONATE/SPONSOR page. There's also a convenient "Donate" button.
Q: How can I listen to KDAB® Radio?
Pretty much any computer, smartphone or tablet with a decent internet connection will work. Just go to our website KDABradio.com; on the home page open the media player, hit play and enjoy! We particularly LOVE the pop-out feature that allows us to listen while we work! Live365 also provides apps for iOS, Android, ROKU and AppleTV. Just download the Live365 app from the App Store or Google Play, open it and search for KDABradio. If your car has Bluetooth connectivity, you can link to the station via your mobile device.
Q: What if I HEAR MY favorite long-lost song? Can i buy it?
We love playing those long-lost songs, as well as introducing you to new music you might wish to own. To help you do that, Live365 provides a shopping cart icon in the media player — tapping on it will take you to Apple Music and, in most cases, to the song/album for purchase. This is a service that Live365 has as a convenience for listeners via its media player (see the image above). We don't receive any commission or payment for this service.
Q: Can i listen to KDAB® Radio on the media player and still do other work on my computer?
Yes! In the upper right hand corner of the player is a “pop out” button which will open the media player in a new window (see the image above). You can view other KDAB® Radio website pages — or anything else on the web — or simply work in other programs. When you quit your internet browser, the player will close too.
