Yes, there are several legal options available for playing copyrighted music on your podcast without having to pay for broadcasting rights. You can get a license from the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) that lets you legally perform copyrighted music and sound recordings. Alternatively, you can contact the rights holders of the copyrighted material and ask for their permission to use it on your podcast. There are also third-party sources which can provide blanket licensing services, such as ASCAP and BMI, that let you legally play copyright-protected music on your podcast without getting individual licenses from each individual artist or label.

Yes, there are some ways to play copyrighted music on your podcast without obtaining the necessary broadcasting rights. You can, for instance, contact the copyright owners and seek permission to play their music on your podcast. You may also use royalty-free music, which does not require obtaining permission from the owner; however, this would limit your choice of songs. Alternatively, you can search online databases to find out if anyone has made their songs available for free commercial use. Be sure to read all terms and conditions carefully before using any song without paying for broadcast rights. Additionally, make sure that by playing copyrighted music on your podcast you are doing so in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
