FM radio stations make most of their money by selling airtime to advertisers. The stations have to pay royalties when they play music.

They pay radio stations to play the music line ups the producers want.AnswerPaying cash to play music on the radio is called payola. There was a big legal battle in the 1950s and people went to jail for that. It is illegal to do that, but some think it goes on.I think it mostly has to do with who they know and they call all the time to ask their friends to promote their music. I think they party together and do favors and get people backstage at shows and meet celebrities and stuff like that.
The owner of a published musical work is entitled to payment by any person using that music. You buy a CD and you have paid for the right to play that music privately. Radio stations pay for the right to broadcast that music. In businesses where the music is used primarily for background, the business owners must also pay to play that music. ASCAP- The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, is the group that helps to accommodate the use of published music while protecting the rights of the music owner and seeing that he is compensated (royalty). Whomever is using published music is obligated to provide a play list and schedule by music selection, and ASCAP determines payment for use accordingly. Substantial fines and even law suits can be levied against anyone who uses published music without paying royalties.
The Sprint HTC Hero uses the Google Play music when downloaded free, you do not have to pay for a special feature to use it.
Yes, you must play prs for any music payed in public unless, of corse, it is royalty free.
If you have purchased the music, it is not illegal to play it. It would not be allowable to conduct a 'concert' of music where the primary purpose is to share the music. But as people are there to work out, not listen to music, there should be no issues with it. If the music has been copied or illegally downloaded, there are also legal issues with it.
Buy it flowers, play soft music and pay it many many compliments.
As long as the parts you use aren't longer then 30 seconds they can be used as samples, which you don't have to pay for!

The BBC does not pay the PRS on a per song basis. For radio stations the BBC pay a per minute rate, rather than for individual songs, which is then distributed to the creators via the PRS quarterly payment system - if the length of a particular piece is not known it is calculated at 3 minutes and 1 second for payment calculations. The rate varies for different stations and between national/local radio stations and terrestrial TV/satellite TV stations. There is also a blanket licence which covers BBC usage across TV, Radio and online for use of music in jingles promotions etc.
