MIBL Radio vs Live365
Live365 is an established host that includes music licensing for listeners in the United States, Canada and Mexico and can distribute to iHeartRadio and TuneIn On Air. MIBL does not include a music licence; it suits stations that play their own music, and it is built to get a small station found, with lyrics your listeners can read in 19 languages.

Where Live365 is stronger
- Music licensing included for listeners in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
- Distribution to iHeartRadio (limited seats, with approval), TuneIn On Air and Audacy in its Premium packages.
- Custom mobile apps and Alexa skills for your station.
- An ad revenue-share program, and a track record: it says it has helped broadcasters get online since 1999.
Where MIBL is different
- Your station gets a page built to be found by search engines, and help getting into the big radio directories.
- Listeners can read your lyrics in their own language: 19 languages, timed to the music. See it on a real song.
- The whole dashboard speaks 19 languages, including Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
- An AI DJ and live broadcasting on every plan, and a 30-day free start without a card.
- We are honest about AI: how our own music is made.
Moving your station
- Start a free station and upload your tracks; they are converted to your plan’s stream quality.
- Pick your station name and address, then go on air — the AI DJ keeps it playing.
- Keep your old stream running until the radio directories show your new address.
