  1. New Surfview Entertainment Spin-off - BuyNowPlaylist.com.   In conjunction with SurfviewPublishing.com and SurfviewRadio.com, BuyNowPlaylist™ expands the exposure of Surfview Publishing and Surfview Licensing music by trading the playing of those controlled songs in exchange for Internet radio stations using the BuyNowPlaylist™ software and hosting services to generate commissions for their station through affiliate programs, like that with Amazon, CDBaby or CDUniverse.  Each station's version of the BuyNowPlaylist™ is adapted to match the looks of their current playlist.  The new version has dynamic "Buy Now" links displayed next to each song.  This makes it easy for listeners to buy what they hear, supporting the artists they like as well as generating a commission for their favorite station.  An Advanced Search Results page displays for songs not sold by the station itself. First client was Radio Free Phoenix. They both sell their own songs and leverage the Amazon associates program.  Surfview Radio™ uses the same code but has no need for the affiliate program links, since it plays only songs it represents.
