Find your kind of sound
A soundtrack for shops.
Explore stations and collections for your space. Listen to public samples here; full business playback requires the applicable account access and licence.
Explore the station concepts. Audio previews will appear as recordings are ready.
A rhythm for the working day
Match the moment, not just the genre.
01
Open with a welcome
Choose a programme that introduces the shop’s personality as customers enter. Light soul, acoustic or relaxed electronic sounds can each suggest a different pace without overwhelming the first greeting.
02
Keep the floor moving
Try brighter rhythm during busier periods if it suits your brand. Staff should still be able to help customers clearly, especially around changing rooms, checkout and quieter corners.
03
An easier late afternoon
Adjust the energy when browsing becomes more relaxed. Keep the change connected to the same musical character so the shop continues to feel recognizable throughout the day.
Save a daily schedule in your account. The venue player follows it while the browser stays open and your device stays awake.
Sketch your day’s music ↗Make it work in your space
Choose music for the way you actually operate.
Make a choice staff can repeat
A dependable programme is easier to use than a daily search for something new. Agree on the sound, acceptable vocal content and a few alternatives. A small curated choice can make handover between shifts much simpler.
Think beyond the sales floor
A fitting area or consultation desk may need a calmer level than the entrance. List which spaces need the same sound and which need independent programmes. Current plans include one simultaneous stream; discuss separate outputs before selecting an offer.
Less music admin. More atmosphere.

A few useful answers
Questions about music for shops.
What kind of music should a shop play?
Choose around brand character and the customer experience rather than a blanket genre rule. Audition a few coherent programmes in the actual shop, including quieter corners and the checkout, then compare how they feel during a working period.
Can staff change the programme during the day?
The account player lets you choose a station or collection when the room needs a different sound. You can also save a weekly schedule and follow it in the open browser workspace. Agree on suitable selections and account access for your team; the public day planner remains a separate local draft.
What does royalty-free business music mean here?
Our direct licence includes the covered catalogue and business uses in your subscription, without a separate royalty invoice from us for every covered track or play. It does not mean unrestricted use or automatically remove local requirements. Your country offer explains its scope before purchase.
How much does it cost?
Each plan covers one venue and one stream, billed monthly or yearly, and starts with a 7-day free trial. The pricing page lists the price for each country before you sign up.
Can I use a preview in my business now?
No. Published samples are for listening on this website while you assess the sound. They do not grant venue-playback or redistribution rights. Playing music in your business needs an active plan.
Is the service limited to the language I’m browsing in?
No. Your preferred language, the country where music plays and the type of use are separate. We are building for businesses globally and reviewing local offers as they become ready. Tell us your location and needs in the enquiry form.
Keep exploring.
