When it comes to creating the perfect atmosphere for a business, choosing the right background music is essential. However, using music in a public setting comes with a series of legal and bureaucratic challenges related to copyright management.
Many entrepreneurs use services like Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music or YouTube for their background music, but it’s important to know that these services are strictly reserved for private use and are illegal for professional use in commercial settings. We’ve dedicated a specific article to explain why services like Spotify and YouTube are not suitable for professional use—be sure to read it to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
This is where the crucial role of a Music Provider comes in: a service specialized in supplying music for commercial businesses.
Today we want to explain exactly what it means to be a Music Provider, how this type of service works, and we’ll look at the advantages a Fully Licensed Music Provider like MoosBox offers compared to using music subject to rights managed by entities such as any other copyright management society. We’ll also discover how services like MoosBox can simplify music management in your business, offering solutions free from legal costs and complications.
What is a Music Provider?
A Music Provider is an operator specialized in providing music for commercial businesses, designed to be used in various settings, such as shops, restaurants, hotels, and offices.
They offer curated playlists specifically tailored to create the desired atmosphere, enhance the customer experience, and support the brand’s identity. However, to be considered a true Music Provider, the service must obtain specific licenses and have regular contracts for managing music catalogs, which authorize the distribution and broadcasting of music in public spaces.
Music catalogs can be mainstream, subject to traditional collectors or fully licensed, but in both cases, the Music Provider must ensure the client has the legal requirements necessary to use them.
Unlike consumer music platforms, a Music Provider like MoosBox guarantees that the music provided is fully licensed, meaning it is free from legal obligations toward entities such as any other copyright management society.
Beyond these licenses, a Music Provider must naturally possess expert consultancy in the music and marketing fields to offer not just music but also strategic support to integrate music effectively into your business. A Music Provider maintains direct relationships with record labels and artists, allowing them to create custom playlists and atmospheres aligned with the brand’s identity and capable of emotionally engaging customers.
What does “Fully Licensed Music” mean?
When we say that MoosBox offers fully licensed music, we mean that the music available on the My MoosBox platform already includes all the necessary licenses for public performance.
This means you won’t have to pay additional fees to copyright management societies. In practice, by choosing MoosBox, you completely eliminate the costs and complications associated with managing music rights, while ensuring a high-quality soundtrack for your business at an affordable cost and guaranteeing a fair compensation for the artists involved.
