What is PrismRadio?
PrismRadio is a free public listening station that plays AI music the community has released for broadcast. Anyone can listen — no account needed — and the tracks come from creators using the Music Studio who chose to share them on the station. Radio release is opt-in and off by default, so your music plays on PrismRadio only if you turn that on for a specific track. Opting a track into broadcast also simulcasts it to PrismPoster's own YouTube Live and Twitch channels, so an on-air track can reach listeners there too. The station streams around the clock, and the /radio page shows what's playing now (and current status if it's ever briefly off-air for maintenance). This page explains how a track reaches the station and where to control it.
How does a track get on PrismRadio?
A track reaches PrismRadio only when its creator opts that track into broadcast. The choice happens at a specific moment: when you keep a music variant in the Music Studio. Because the broadcast setting is off by default, doing nothing keeps your music off the station. To play on PrismRadio, you turn the radio release on for the track you want to share.
Opting in is necessary but not sufficient. A track only actually goes on-air once it is also publicly released to Discover, has passed moderation, and runs between one and six minutes long. Opt a track into broadcast without publishing it to Discover and it stays off-air until you do. When it does play on the station, it also simulcasts to PrismPoster's YouTube Live and Twitch channels.
For the exact opt-in step and how to change it later, see the broadcast opt-in.
What is the difference between PrismRadio and Discover?
They are related but separate:
- Discover is the browsable public feed of released images, videos, music, and charts at
/discover. - PrismRadio is a continuous, free listening station for community-released AI music.
Releasing a track and opting it into radio broadcast are distinct choices. A track can be released to Discover's music section without playing on PrismRadio, and the broadcast opt-in is the lever that adds it to the station. See what is Discover for the feed side.
Does PrismRadio cost anything?
No. PrismRadio is free to listen to. Generating the music itself still uses your shared credit pool in the Music Studio — see how credits work — but listening to the station carries no cost and needs no subscription.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my music on PrismRadio automatically?
No. Radio release is opt-in and off by default. Your track plays on PrismRadio only if you turn broadcast on for it when you keep a music variant, and only once it is also released to Discover, has passed moderation, and is between one and six minutes long. See the broadcast opt-in.
Does opting into broadcast put my track anywhere besides PrismRadio?
Yes. When an on-air track plays on PrismRadio, it also simulcasts to PrismPoster's own YouTube Live and Twitch channels. The prerequisites are the same — the track must be released to Discover, pass moderation, and be one to six minutes long.
Is PrismRadio always live?
Yes — PrismRadio streams around the clock. If it's ever briefly off-air for maintenance, the /radio page shows the current status.
Do I need an account to listen to PrismRadio?
No. PrismRadio is a free public station, so anyone can listen without signing up. You only need an account to create music in the Music Studio and choose whether to broadcast it.
How do I take my track off PrismRadio?
You change the broadcast setting for that track. Because the opt-in is per-track and adjustable, you can turn radio release off again. The steps are in the broadcast opt-in.
