Music licensing in Ecuador
Streaming music in your business isn't the same as listening to music at home. When you play music for an audience with a business and commercial purpose, you need different licenses.
Play it right
Soundtrack is built to bring you music that’s legal for your business. In Ecuador, almost everything you need is included in your Soundtrack plan except for a public performance license.
Recording rights
Allows you to stream a specific sound recording of a song
Publishing rights
Allows you to stream the original composition
Change the way you play
Soundtrack offers an excellent selection of music because of our direct relationships with publishers, performing rights organizations and record labels. These include Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and more. Our technology accurately tracks your song plays, which ensures that music creators get the right payments from us. Soundtrack Unlimited makes royalty payments about 5 times higher than streaming services for private use.
Music for business
Avoid legal concerns when playing music in your business. Use a suitable music provider (like Soundtrack) and check that you have the correct licenses in place.
Personal music services including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Tidal and Deezer, are not approved for use in business environments.

Music licensing in Ecuador
Playing music in an Ecuadorian business means covering two sets of rights: the songs themselves and the recordings of them.
SAYCE (Sociedad de Autores y Compositores del Ecuador) has represented Ecuadorian songwriters and composers since 1973, when its founding act was signed in the main hall of the National Conservatory of Music in Quito. As a member of CISAC, the global authors' rights confederation, it also collects on behalf of songwriters worldwide, through reciprocal agreements covering around 120 countries. SAYCE issues the license covering the authors' side.
The recording side covers performers and producers. SARIME (Sociedad de Artistas Intérpretes y Músicos Ejecutantes del Ecuador) represents Ecuador's performing artists and musicians, and was founded in 1999 under the country's then new intellectual property law. In practice the money owed to performers is collected alongside the producers' share, through a single-window arrangement with SOPROFON, the Ecuadorian producers' society, rather than by SARIME directly.
