DASH radio (Free Music)

LonghornFan · Aug 19, 2014

I haven't checked it out yet, but Dash Radio was put online today. Going to compete with Sirius/XM but all content is free and their interface looks like Sirius via their internet radio.

Starting with 50 stations, DASH Radio is available on iOS, Android and in your web browser.

FM stations feature endless commercials and repetitive playlists, digital
platforms limit discovery with algorithmic playlists that aren’t true
radio, and satellite radio is too expensive for most consumers. Today
a new future unfolds with DASH (www.dashradio.com), a revolutionary
new digital radio platform that features the world’s top DJ’s, zero
commercials, easy navigation, and accessibility from your favorite
devices. The best part – it’s all free!

“Radio is one element that hasn’t gone digital yet. People are dissatisfied with it, and we’re trying to bring that magic back,” he stated.

96% of people over 13 years old listened to radio in the last 30 days, and 75% of music is still discovered from traditional radio, so when you think about the fact that there isn’t a truly digital radio network, it’s kind of shocking. bThe app is free and there are no ads. The service also will allow DASH’s programming team and stations to access in-depth analytics about what people are listening to, how they use the app, and much more than standard radio stations have access to.

DASH Radio’s stations are all 100% original and exclusive to the service, feature on-air personalities, and offer up detailed program guides so you can see what song has played recently, and even the ability to listen to any radio show or program that has ever aired on DASH, for an additional fee. Some of the stations at launch include DJ Skee’s own station called SKEE24/7, East Village Radio, VP Records, and XXL.

The app itself is incredibly well-designed, and resembles both the dashboard of the infotainment screen in your car mixed with something as simple as the dialer in Apple’s phone app — just tap a station to start listening. Nothing bogs you down while navigating, and the UI offers up just what you need to see in an easy manner.

“People just listen to radio because it’s there and it’s easy,” explains Keeney. “We’re creating the best listener experience.”
