While you may use the copyrighted music, you are still subject to paying the licensing fees to ASCAP/BMI/SESAC and the like. Most college radio people are ignorant of this fact because the college station is usually covered in a campus wide contract that includes playing records at campus social events, concerts, etc...It was also decided about five years ago that even AM carrier current fell under this category (you can see why this is, since playing the music over the PA system in student union is also subject). -Ron
