FAQ
Background music for business is professionally curated, commercially licensed audio played in venues like cafés, shops, restaurants, hotels and gyms to enhance customer experience and reflect brand identity. Unlike personal streaming, it includes the legal rights needed for public performance.
Yes. Any business that plays music where customers or staff can hear it — including on a sound system, TV, or radio — is required by law to hold public performance licences from collecting societies such as PRS for Music and PPL in the UK, or ASCAP and BMI in the US. Moodby includes these rights in every subscription.
Personal streaming accounts are licenced for private, non-commercial use only. Playing them in a shop, salon, restaurant, or any public-facing business is a copyright infringement that can result in fines or legal action from PRS and PPL. Moodby is fully licensed for commercial use from day one.
Studies show that tempo, genre, and volume all directly influence how long customers stay, how they perceive service quality, and what they spend. Slower tempos tend to increase dwell time; genre matching to the brand increases perceived authenticity. Moodby's curated stations are built around these principles.
Royalty-free music is paid for once and cleared for reuse without ongoing royalties. Licensed music — like the catalogue in Moodby — includes mainstream and contemporary artists whose tracks are cleared through collecting societies, giving you recognisable, brand-appropriate sound alongside full legal compliance.
A PRS for Music licence alone can cost between €100–€2,000+ per year depending on business size, plus a separate PPL licence on top. Moodby covers all required licensing within a single subscription from €25 per month per zone — significantly simpler and often cheaper overall.
Yes. Moodby's drag-and-drop scheduler lets you set time-of-day music blocks — quiet morning ambience, upbeat midday energy, relaxed evening atmosphere — all automated and running without staff input.
Each location requires its own stream, but all are managed centrally from one Moodby account with no extra licence applications per site. Enterprise plans for 10+ locations include volume discounts and dedicated account support.
Yes — Moodby offers a free trial with no credit card required. You get full access to the platform and the entire station catalogue to test in your venue before committing.
Any venue with customers or staff benefits from a professional audio environment: cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels, retail stores, gyms, beauty salons, spas, dental clinics, offices, and more. Moodby has curated stations for every industry and atmosphere type.
No specialist hardware is required. Moodby runs on any existing device — tablet, smartphone, laptop, or media player connected to your sound system. Setup takes minutes.
Moodby partners with collecting societies worldwide and updates licensing terms automatically as regulations change. Whether your business operates in the UK, Europe, the US, or Australia, your subscription keeps you compliant without any manual renewals.

The problem every business owner faces
Why background music is a commercial investment, not an overhead
What makes Moodby different
At Moodby, we set out to solve a challenge that affects thousands of business owners every day: how to use background music legally, affordably, and effectively — without drowning in PRS applications, PPL fees, or copyright enforcement letters. The existing options were either too expensive, too complicated, or simply not built for the way real businesses operate.
Research consistently shows that the right in-store background music increases customer dwell time by up to 15%, improves perceived service quality, and positively influences purchase decisions. Sound is not decoration — it is a measurable part of the customer experience. Businesses that treat their audio environment as seriously as their interior design see the difference in satisfaction scores, repeat visits, and average spend.
Our mission is simple: help every business sound great and stay fully compliant — without complexity. We serve businesses of all sizes, from independent cafés and boutique salons to global retail chains and hotel groups, with pre-licensed playlists that reflect brand identity and connect with customers emotionally. Every track in our 300+ station catalogue is cleared for commercial public performance, covering collecting societies worldwide — PRS, PPL, ASCAP, BMI, and beyond. Licensing updates automatically as regulations change. There is nothing to renew, renegotiate, or worry about.
From first setup to daily streaming, from single-zone scheduling to multi-site management — Moodby is your trusted partner in commercial audio branding.
