US Weekly 4/11/00

"Live365.com is a musicians dream, offering opportunities for self-promotion previously unheard of…..One word of warning: Live365.com is as addictive as crack, and like the famous street drug, can lead to job-loss if indulged in too often. Of course, that leaves more time for live broadcasts, so who really cares?"

Guitar World 5/00

"Not to be ignored, Live365.com offers an online service in which users can act as program managers and create their own virtual stations. Most of the 2,500 channels built so far are music-oriented; the remainder, talk shows and news operations. Who knows? Maybe Live365.com will produce the next Kevin Cook or Sam Donaldson."

Forbes.com

"Without a server of your own your broadcast isn't going to be so broad. Live365.com is like a massive antenna that amplifies your signal so that hundreds of people can listen at once."
