Play music in public. Keep every right in place.

No. Subscriptions made for private listening don't grant the full set of rights needed to play music to customers or staff. A listener receives private, non-commercial access—not permission to provide the music as part of a venue experience. That's why venues use a business music service such as Beat Breeze or Soundtrack.

A familiar song carries four permissions: the music and lyrics belong to songwriters and publishers, the master recording can belong to artists or a label, the business service needs reproduction and delivery rights for its catalogue, and playing music where customers or staff can hear it is a public performance. The venue doesn't negotiate each track—a business service and, where required, local collecting societies connect these layers.

It depends on the platform and the country. For music played through Beat Breeze, covered business playback is included, so no separate music licence is needed. With Soundtrack, recording and publishing rights are included; in the United States and Canada ordinary background use is also covered, while in most other countries the venue adds local collecting-society licences. BMAsia confirms the exact scope in writing before activation.

Beat Breeze is one cleared route: the royalty-free catalogue and covered business playback rights come with the service. Soundtrack offers a large commercial catalogue of familiar, major-label music with recording and publishing rights included, while public-performance requirements depend on the country. We make the boundary visible before activation.

Yes—the country changes the last step. In some markets Soundtrack includes public-performance coverage for ordinary background use; in most others the venue adds licences from the local collecting societies. Beat Breeze remains a cleared business-music route either way. BMAsia checks your market and confirms the steps before recommending a setup.

Those sit outside covered background playback. Live acts, DJs, third-party music and visual synchronisation are separate use cases, and venue type, admission, exercise classes, repertoire and local law can all change the answer. Tell us how the music will be used and we'll review it as part of the rights check.

Tell us the venue, the music route and how the music will be used. We separate the service rights from the venue's local obligations, show which product covers what, and confirm the product scope and any local licence step in writing before launch.
