Once you are live, you can talk to your audience, take live callers, play music, and earn money through tips. 

**Here's a short video to get you started:**

    <div
        class="flexy-embed"
        style="position: relative;
    padding-bottom: 56.25%;
    padding-top: 30px;
    height: 0;

### What does my audience hear? 
When you are live, your audience will hear your voice and the music you are playing.

Stationhead is a lot more fun when you’re broadcasting your voice, or chatting with callers, but you don’t need to talk the whole time. 

You can mute and unmute your voice at any time. And you can pause, play, or change the song whenever you want.

### How do I play music?

Stationhead allows you to play music from Apple Music or Spotify on your own radio station.

This means you can play your favorite songs without worrying about copyright strikes. The combined library of Apple Music and Spotify is over 45 million songs. And they are all available for you to share on your station.

**Play from over 45 Million songs:**

Start by connecting your streaming service right in the Stationhead app. You’ll need an account, and if you don’t have one, Stationhead will provide a free trial for Apple Music during signup.

Once you’ve connected music, add some tracks from your favorite playlists or music library to your rotation.
