Song rights for a website?

Question

Do you need permission from an artist to add their song to your website?

Answer 1

ABSOLUTELY.  It's copyrighted material.  You can't post copyrighted material on the Internet unless YOU own the copyright.

Not sure how you would go about getting permission .. maybe try contacting the record label?  Most labels have websites, and most of them probably have a link for contacting them with "Licensing/Permission" questions.
