AudioRoundTable.com has a streaming radio station that is hosted on Live365.com. You can access it by clicking the little portable radio icon, in the top right corner where it says "ART Radio".
We pay a monthly licensing fee through which Live365 uses to pay royalties to the music companies. This is the same thing that radio stations do. In the agreement, we are only able to play two or three consecutive songs from one artist before rotating in another artist. I'm not sure if there are other licensing agreements that could be entered into, but I think ours would prohibit playing a whole album side as consecutive songs.
We end up making a playlist that has a mix of lots of different kinds of cool music, and we change the playlist from time to time. If we try to insert more than a couple songs in a row by the same artist, the system will not allow it. So we have to order the songs in a way that would break up an album side into many separate songs, intermingled with other material from other artists.
