Protecting Your Radio Station: Why Secure Music Submissions Matter

Radio stations regularly receive music submissions from unknown artists via email attachments. While this openness to new music is admirable, it creates significant security risks for your station's systems and network.

The Hidden Risks of Email Music Submissions

Traditional email submissions expose radio stations to several risks:

• Unsafe Attachments: Email attachments can contain malware disguised as audio files
• System Vulnerability: Opening files from unknown sources puts your broadcasting infrastructure at risk
• Network Exposure: One compromised computer can affect your entire station's network
• Missing Paper Trail: No clear record of who submitted what and when
• Legal Uncertainty: Unclear rights and usage terms for submitted music

RhetoricSound's Security-First Approach

RhetoricSound protects your station with a comprehensive security system:

• Protected File Handling: All submissions are scanned and processed safely before reaching your system
• Browser-Based Playback: Listen to tracks without downloading anything to your computer
• Verified Submissions: Every artist is properly identified with timestamps and IP logging
• Custom Terms: Your station's terms are clearly presented and must be signed before submission
• Clear Documentation: Automatic records of who submitted what and when they agreed to your terms
• Access Control: You decide who can review submissions at your station
• Clean Inbox: Keep potentially risky music files separate from your important station email

Real Station Stories: The Cost of Email Security Breaches

We've heard from stations who learned the hard way: one compromised music file attachment led to days of downtime and thousands in recovery costs. RhetoricSound helps prevent these scenarios.
