This way you can switch up your playlists to keep it fresh. Once that's done, start browsing for companies that have royalty free music and find their playlists on Spotify. Get a separate Spotify premium account (you can't use the one you already have, you'll see why below). I had about a 10-day wait before mine was set up. This is how you get your stream to run 24/7. Get a Virtual Private Server (VPS) from and wait for them to contact you. Expect this to take 2-4 weeks, it can be difficult to chase down animators with steep backlogs. If you want to contact my animator, I've left a link to his studio in the description of the stream. I found a truly amazing artist on, I'd start there. It took me a few hours to figure out how to get this all set up, so I've condensed EVERYTHING you need to know to run a stream like mine into 10 steps.
