Why you do not need another music license
When you play music from Spotify, YouTube, or a personal collection in a business, you typically need a separate public performance license. Melodial is different: we own every track outright, so we grant you permission to play it commercially.
Your Melodial subscription is your license. You do not need to pay ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR, or any other collecting society. One flat price covers everything.
Enter your business details once
Both certificates are made out to your business, so Melodial needs your business name and address first.
On the web player
Log in at app.melodial.com. Click the three dots next to your name (on a phone’s browser, the circle with the first letter of your email at the top right) and choose Account details. Under Business details, fill in your business name, address and country, then click Save details and confirm.
In the app
Tap the person icon at the top, then Account details. Fill in the same details under Business details and tap Save details.
Check the spelling before you confirm. Once saved, the details are locked for 31 days, because they are printed on the certificate.
Get your Music License Certificate
On the web player
On the same Account details page, under License certificate, click Download PDF to save it, or enter an email address and click Email certificate.
In the app
Under License certificate, tap Email certificate. It is sent to your inbox; the app does not save files to the phone.
Keep a copy on hand. If a licensing body contacts you, show them the certificate.
The Rights Certificate
Below the license certificate there is a second document, the Rights Certificate. It confirms that Melodial owns every track in the catalog outright. Some licensing bodies ask for it alongside the Music License Certificate. Download or email it the same way.
Certificates for several locations
With several locations on one account, on Basic or Plus, each location has its own certificate. From the web player, open Manage organization, then the Business tab, pick the location, enter its details and download or email its certificate from there.
If a licensing body contacts you
Stay polite and present your Melodial Music License Certificate as proof. Your certificate only covers music played through Melodial: if your staff also play music from Spotify, YouTube, personal playlists, or the radio in your venue, you may still need a separate license for that music.
