"AirPlay Direct has always been a valuable resource and one that I constantly refer to when compiling my radio shows here in the UK. But the new look and revamped site have taken things to a new level. It's great for keeping in touch with new releases, as well as for a searchable database and resource for previously released material.

The new platform is extremely user-friendly, and search filters now make it far easier to discover valuable music for my shows. I am particularly interested in blues and jazz artists for my specialist programs but also access music across multiple genres for my daytime shows. The extended information about artists and particular releases is a godsend, and Airplay Direct is always my go-to source."

“The new AirPlay Direct platform is simply wonderful. The specificity in searches so useful. In addition to connecting me to the latest music releases, so much more is at my fingertips. When I can relate what inspired a song, the genesis of the recording, or who is singing harmony, etc., that helps bring a song to life for my listeners.

The Triple Crown winners here are the artists getting their music heard,the DJs having access, and, of course, the radio listeners whose horizons are expanded. As I say on the radio, “Today is the perfect day for bluegrass. But what day isn’t?

Thank you, AirPlay Direct!”

"Alligator Records has worked with AirPlay Direct for more than a decade to make our content available to radio stations far and wide across the globe.  The improvements to their platform's functionality have made their site much more user-friendly and easier to navigate.  It has been, and will continue to be, a tremendous resource for helping us reach the people who will play it."  

"I honestly don't know what I would do without Airplay Direct! Every week, I play cuts that I've downloaded from APD. Sometimes I even duck out of the broadcast both to search and download a request!

AirPlay Direct provides a great service for artists and DJs and has really become a core component of broadcast distribution. I can't imagine where the roots music world would be if Robert Weingartz hadn't nurtured the idea that became Airplay Direct and worked to make it a reality!"

"While preparing my show, Roots & All, I opened an email from Airplay Direct, as I usually do, and found myself in a DJ’s paradise.

The website’s home page is set up so differently from what I expected; I had to keep myself from getting up from my desk and jumping up and down with joy. It has the same great selection of music going for adds, displayed linearly for better review and contemplation.

There are menu links on the left side of the screen that are easily accessible and provide valuable information for Radio Users.

First, Download History. Every download I've ever requested since my show first aired is accessible and still downloadable, organized into groups of 20 on numbered, navigable pages. It’s a great tool for recovering lost files from years past, or just for seeing how my perspective on music has evolved over these many years.

Next is a link to Radio Charts. This is a great way to see what other DJs around the world are downloading and where they get it.  A bit of information on which show it’s being downloaded for would be nice, but not critical.

The rest of the menu consists of a terrific Search engine, Account Settings, and Support.  All appear on the menu, and are easy to use.

With so much music coming to my inboxes, it’s a relief to find a site that is so easy to navigate, so informative, and a repository of some of the best music ever recorded. Thank you, AirPlay Direct."

“AirPlay Direct has become an absolutely essential part of Alligator Records’ worldwide promotional efforts.  Conceived and designed by Robert Weingartz, AirPlay Direct allows us to deliver music by our artists to radio stations large and small around the globe.  

The vital support that AirPlay Direct has given to independent labels and artists and to niche genres sets it apart from all other digital delivery services. In addition to helping get our new releases to radio, AirPlay Direct has helped bring attention to our catalog by featuring our classic albums in their digital newsletters to radio.

As a result of their outstanding service, we’re able to make a much greater worldwide radio impact than ever before. They’re the best!”

“We got into the music business because we wanted to share the music we loved with others.  Way back then, we couldn’t even conceive of a company like AirPlay Direct which would get both our new releases and our much loved back catalog out to the world.

AirPlay Direct shares our passion for roots music, deep catalog and our artists.  They tirelessly meet our needs as the industry and our business 
continues to change and expand, having become an essential resource for us.

They are constantly trying to improve the way AirPlay Direct works to be an even greater resource to artists, radio, and labels.  Their platform allows us to easily distribute our music globally without the costs of shipping, saving us and their other business partners money while constantly expanding our reach globally.

Robert and Lynda are immensely insightful and will be there for your team to offer  suggestions and a helping hand.  They are always in the forefront helping us align those connections with radio across the world.  AirPlay Direct has changed the way we and others interact with radio and will continue to do so in the years to come.

AirPlay Direct has proven to be an invaluable resource and steadfast partner.”

“AirPlay Direct continues to be THE discovery place for roots music. Even major figures like Janis Ian or Jackson Browne get strong responses there organically and even more when promoted by APD. I have maintained my folk and bluegrass radio database since August 1984, but promotions on the service consistently lead to new broadcaster contacts.

AirPlay Direct provides a vital resource to roots music worldwide.  I am surprised by how many programmers discover the new releases I provide via APD relative to the several channels I routinely use.”
