New to music licensing?

Spotify, Pandora and Apple Music are personal accounts and can't be used in a business. Business music services include the license in the subscription. So does Melodial, at $6.99.

Customer stories

What our customers say

“Melodial has changed our in-store customer experience. We were skeptical at first that music could improve our turnover, however based on our internal research, Melodial music has boosted turnover by 2.5%. Well done, team!”

Karen · Rage Results vary.

“We have been using Melodial for a short while now and have found it easy to use and pain free to set up, couldn't be simpler. The variety of music has helped suit our mood and customer base. Since using this product customers seem more relaxed in the shop and spend longer with us which results in stronger sales.”

Gary · Limehouse Art

“We started using Melodial a while ago now, and honestly, it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made. The music selection is consistently excellent, with a great mix of genres that keeps the atmosphere just right throughout the day. We’ve been especially impressed with the Christmas playlist - the songs are perfectly chosen, festive without being overplayed, and create a really warm, uplifting vibe. Melodial has made a noticeable difference, and we couldn’t be happier with how it’s improved the overall experience.”

Sam · Creative Wine Making

“During the past few months, we had so much pressure trying to source a reasonably priced Performance License that streams eloquent music for a small business like ours without success. We were blessed to come across Melodial, and the lovely staff who came to our aid in the blink of an eye. They took all that pressure off us and guided us through the whole process with zero impact on our business. The music is amazing and we couldn't believe how many different genres were available. Our customers often compliment the pleasant background music that doesn't distract from conversation, encouraging them to linger longer. We've got hooked on Chill Pop for our audience! Thank you Melodial.”

Dee · The Araliya

“The songs are great and easy-listening! Some of my staff and I are now singing along. One of our customers even said all the songs played are great. Plus, it's cost-effective as I don't need to pay for royalty, and you guys are very prompt in replying to queries. Keep up the good work, guys.”

Famili Ria

“I looked high and low for an in-store music solution after we started getting hassled (a lot) by a company who wanted to charge us hundreds of dollars a month to use licensed music. I found Melodial and at first it seemed way too easy and very affordable, but we signed up and it's great… good selection and variety at a super cheap price… why would we go elsewhere?”

Tracey G · Tracey G Prosthetics and Lingerie

“We use Melodial music in our Clayton Showroom and it is the perfect solution for affordable background music that our staff and customers enjoy. Easy to sign up, set up, sit back and enjoy. Once you try there is no going back.”

Miri Kinderman · Clayton Showroom

“I would not be able to play background music to my customers if it wasn't for finding out about Melodial. Thankyou”

Denise Luxford

“We stumbled upon Melodial trying to find something cheaper than paying for a music license. We were worried that the music would be quite dull and boring but to our surprise, there are a variety of playlists. We play Chill Pop and find a lot of the songs quite catchy and have even noticed some customers bobbing to the music and overheard others say it's very relaxing in the restaurant. We highly recommend Melodial for any business who pays for a music license, it is definitely a more cost effective alternative.”

Debbie · Haru Dining

“Melodial has been great - easy to set up & use; reliable; cheaper; and fully licensed. I first found Melodial when searching for licensing options and it’s saving us significantly: an annual subscription was almost the same as our previous monthly fees!”

Body and Brain Centre

“Melodial has taken the stress out of music licensing, reducing our costs substantially while delivering high-quality background music that suits our Allied Health Clinic perfectly. Setting up our preferred playlist was simple, and the intuitive App makes it easy for our staff to manage day-to-day. Thanks Melodial!”

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I still need an ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or GMR license?
Not for anything you play through Melodial. Our catalog isn't registered with any of them, so your subscription is the license and your certificate says so. Music from any other source (radio, Spotify, a DJ, live performers) still needs their licenses.
How is Melodial different from Soundtrack, Rockbot or CloudCover?
Same idea: licensed music for business. Melodial is $6.99 a month instead of $17 to $41, and the only one of them that covers instructor-led fitness classes.
Does this cover my gym classes?
Yes. Background music services exclude instructed classes; ASCAP and BMI license those separately. Melodial's catalog is outside the PROs, so classes playing Melodial playlists are covered.
Can I play Spotify or Pandora in my business?
No. Personal streaming accounts are licensed for personal use only. Playing them in a business needs licenses from ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and GMR for the music they contain. Melodial's catalog is not registered with any of the four, so your subscription is the only license you need for the music you play through Melodial.
Why don't I need a ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or GMR license?
ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or GMR collect fees for music registered with the societies they represent, which is virtually all mainstream music. Melodial owns every track in its catalog outright and none of it is registered with any collecting society, so there are no royalties for them to collect and no fee for you to pay. Your subscription is your license, and it comes with a downloadable Music License Certificate.
Can I use Melodial across multiple locations?
Yes. Melodial is built for chains and groups. Manage every site, zone and schedule from one central dashboard with per-location control. Each location or zone that plays its own music needs its own license.
Can my team build their own playlists?
Absolutely. Choose from expert-curated playlists by industry, or build and save your own from our licensed catalog, with permissions you control.
How does pricing work?
Simple per-site subscription with no license fees to add. Plans start at $6.99/month and scale with the number of locations.
What hardware do I need?
No special hardware needed. Melodial runs on any device you already have, from a smartphone or tablet to an entry-level Android box. If it has internet and you can plug in speakers, it works.
