About |
MusicStream is the first royalty free digital music service designed specifically to provide background music and related control features for retail and hospitality businesses.
The MusicStream service was conceived to meet a growing demand among disgruntled retailers, restaurateurs, hoteliers, spa and salon owners, for a credible licence-free alternative. Many businesses are unhappy with the high cost of PRS and PPL music licences overseen by the Performing Rights Society (PRS) and Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL), in the U.K. MusicStream enables them to legally avoid the PRS and PPL licence cost.
MusicStream’s founders have been composing, producing and marketing royalty free music, for several years. This musical expertise underpins the service’s ground breaking licence-free music catalogue, which spans a wide range of genres, styles and tempos, currently comprising over 400 hours of high-quality music. The music is expertly programmed into a wide range of playlists, accessed and managed via the MusicStream Player software which works on any compatible Windows PC / laptop, Mac or Android device. An average of three hours of new music is added to the service every month, sourced from a growing network of music-makers across the globe.
On average businesses save 70% of current music costs, because with MusicStream they no longer need a PPL licence or a PRS licence. For a large retail chain these savings can run into hundreds of thousands of pounds per annum.
The MusicStream service allows the playlists to be edited and scheduled to customise the audio experience. Multiple outlets can be managed from one central point or managed locally, as preferred, and the service even allows customer and staff messages to be scheduled and played out. Music can be zoned so different playlists play to different floors, departments, treatments rooms, lounges, pool areas etc.
