The problem

Music in your business is more complicated than it should be.

The traditional way to play music in your business requires:

A collecting society contract
Annual fees to your local collecting society based on your business type and size.
Spotify isn't allowed for business use
Most business owners don't realize that Spotify, Apple Music, and other consumer streaming services aren't permitted for commercial use. You need a dedicated business music service, on top of your collecting society fees.
Complex pricing that depends on everything
Square meters, number of speakers, employee count, business type: every factor changes what you owe.

And that's not all. You also need:

A separate platform to play music (Spotify is not allowed for business use)

And then it gets worse. Costs depend on:

Type of business
Square meters
Number of employees
Number of speakers
Number of rooms
Country-specific rules

Result

Multiple providers
Unclear pricing
Ongoing admin
And still uncertainty
The solution

We replaced all of that with one subscription.

With Brandmusic you get:

Player software with genre selection and scheduling
Curated business music for commercial use
Music independent of collecting societies
Everything in one subscription

With other music services, collecting society fees come on top. The music on Brandmusic falls outside that repertoire.

SchedulingBeta

The right music for every part of your day.

Mornings, lunch rush, and evenings each have their own energy. Build a weekly schedule and Brandmusic switches the music automatically, so the room always sounds right without anyone touching the player.

Set it once, runs all week
Draw blocks across your week: gentle acoustic at opening, livelier electronic at peak, mellow jazz to wind down. The app follows the plan day after day.
Tuned to your local time
Pick your venue's timezone and the schedule follows it precisely, through daylight-saving changes and unusual offsets alike.
Seamless transitions
When a block changes, the current song plays out first, the music is never cut off mid-track, so the switch feels natural to your guests.

Programme your sound like a pro, without standing at the player.
