“We explored many options for the in-store music in our grocery store, and had used several others in the previous years. We switched to Soundtrack in late 2020 and it has been a fantastic choice. They offer a wide variety of pre-made channels, and the ability to add our own Spotify playlists has been a huge help.”

We pay music creators more
Each song played using a Soundtrack Unlimited plan can generate up to five times more revenue for music creators versus a personal music service.
The music industry loses $1.38 billion per year in the US as 78% of small-to-midsize businesses are illegally using personal streaming services.

Play (music) by the rules
Soundtrack (originally Spotify for Business) is an excellent streaming service that's also legal for business. Spotify and other alternatives are only approved for personal use. What counts as commercial use? Commercial use is playing music anywhere in your business. Personal use is private listening for your own enjoyment.
It's vital that businesses respect music copyright. Correct licenses and a suitable music service are needed for music creators to be remunerated correctly. Businesses also need public performance licenses from performing rights organizations. Spotify doesn't include these and regardless of business size, it's a breach of the terms of service to use a personal music app.
