Source for Quality Jingles

I've been using ai jinglemaker AI Jingle Maker — #1 AI Jingle Generator for Radio & DJ to produce a variety of radio jingles, liners and sweepers and to provide narrations for podcasts and power point presentations etc. Very good customer service and inexpensive. Lots of tools to customize the jingles and many voices (and languages) to choose from. Frederick (the founder) also produced great sounding singing jingles for our community radio station. Its worth checking out!
 
I must admit that, while I'm generally uninterested in using AI for much of anything, this is tempting.

I want to build up an identity for my Part 15 station, which is currently little more than an automated jukebox, but I lack the skills (and, frankly, the nerve) to do it myself using traditional methods, and I don't have the money to hire a VO artist or jingle service.

He has a wide variety of voices and sound effects for intro, music beds and outros. I use Radio boss for my station and use his jingles. I've attached a sample from our station - I used his audio canvas to link a classic Drake soundbed with the jingle i produced from his site.

That's actually pretty good!

If I didn't know it was produced using AI, I'd say it was done in the traditional way.

I can see how this can be useful for Part-15 hobby broadcasters, LPFMs and other small market stations who want a polished, professional sound. I think there will still be a place for traditional jingle makers, though, particularly for people who value such things and have the means to afford it.

Before you devote too many brain cells to imaging, you should figure out a strategy for how you're going to pay the royalties police if/when they happen to drive through your town and hear your station. They don't have much of a sense of humor.

I thought Part 15 was relatively exempt?

At least, that was the impression I got when I was researching it.

Are you using a Part 15 transmitter to extend a your stereo system out to your backyard or garage, or are you trying to spread it around the neighborhood so others can hear it, so you can try making a few bucks from local advertisers? I think you'd have a case if it was only the former. You're legal, and you can't control if a neighbor happens to tune in too. But the latter sounds like a bootstrap business, and the music mafia wants their taste too. In fact, they demand it.

We're set up at the end of a cul de sac - so only listeners are those neighbors within a couple hundred feet or if we have music playing during our neighborhood pot lucks and barbeques Station is just a fun hobby - I can listen in the yard and other parts of the house so I'm not worried about royalties etc.
 
I don't intend to make any money off it, so I wouldn't be advertising; I only advertise the station's existence by word of mouth.

If the Music Mafia still wants me to pay tens of thousands a year just for that, I wouldn't be very happy.

That said, if they issue me a cease and desist order, I'll shut everything down and sell it. It wouldn't be worth it if I have to pay for licensing.

And they have the nerve to wonder why radio stations are going broke!

His quality is very good, and inexpensive. As you suggest, a commercial station would use a professional service like PAMS. Many of his clients have streaming stations and use his service to create liners and jingles etc. - and he actually lets them promote their stations on his website. I never considered streaming - lots of competition and, as another poster mentioned, the cost of royalties is outrageous and economically unfeasible. One fun thing - I use "Audacity" to record my shows and then use itunes to transfer them to my iphone- that way when I'm traveling I can listen to an hour or two of my "station".

Am I the only person to hear all of those obvious edits, pops, clicks and brass chord changes in the pilfered bed? Not to rain on your production parade, but I don't understand why you would air something as cheesy as that piece.
