What spas actually pay for music
Collecting societies charge spas and wellness centres based on premises size and number of treatment rooms. Multi-zone venues — reception, treatment rooms, relaxation lounge, pool area — each add to the fee. And that's just the licence. The music itself costs extra. Melodial replaces both.
| Spa Size | Spotify + OneMusic | Melodial |
|---|---|---|
| Small spa / day spa 1–3 treatment rooms |
$600+/yrlicence + streaming | $99.99/yrmusic + licence included |
| Medium spa 4–8 treatment rooms |
$1,200+/yrlicence + streaming | $99.99/yrmusic + licence included |
| Large / hotel spa 9+ rooms, pool, sauna |
$2,500+/yrlicence + streaming | $99.99/yrmusic + licence included |
| Compliant for commercial use? | ✗ Spotify prohibits it | ✓ Built for business |
| Certificate of Compliance | ✗ Not available | ✓ Instant download |
Fees based on published OneMusic rate schedules. Traditional licensing does not include a music source.
How can we skip OneMusic?
OneMusic collects fees for music registered with collecting societies. If you play mainstream music — Spotify, radio, CDs — you owe them a licence fee. Spas with multiple zones and treatment rooms can face particularly high fees.
Melodial is different. We own or directly licence every track in our catalogue. None of our music is registered with OneMusic (APRA AMCOS + PPCA) or any other collecting society. No royalties to collect means no licence fees to pay.
Your Melodial subscription is your licence. One flat price covers your entire premises — reception, treatment rooms, relaxation areas, pool. No per-zone charges.
Certificate of Compliance included. Every subscriber gets an official certificate proving your music is fully licensed. If OneMusic or any licensing body contacts your spa, show them the certificate. You're covered. And if you need help responding, forward us their email — we'll draft the reply.
The three rights you need to play music commercially
Recording rights
The right to stream a specific sound recording of a song.
✓ Covered by Melodial
Publishing rights
The right to use the underlying composition and lyrics.
✓ Covered by Melodial
Public performance rights
The right to play music in a commercial environment where customers can hear it.
✓ Covered by Melodial
Melodial owns or directly licences every track. None of our music is registered with any collecting society, so no collecting society fees apply.
Two ways to legally play music in your spa
| OneMusic licence | Melodial | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A licence covering mainstream music — songs you hear on the radio. Music not included. | An all-in-one subscription. Music, guided meditations, and commercial licence in one payment. |
| You need this if | You play chart hits, radio, or specific mainstream tracks in your spa. | You want calming, professional ambient music at a fixed price — with no per-zone fees. |
| How it works | Annual fee based on premises size, zones, and treatment rooms. Music source not included. | $9.99/month flat. Same price for any size spa. Certificate of Compliance included instantly. |
Playing Spotify or Apple Music in your spa? Their terms prohibit commercial use — even with Premium. You still need a licence from OneMusic, which costs hundreds or thousands per year on top of your streaming subscription. Melodial replaces both.
What happens if you play unlicensed music?
OneMusic actively contacts businesses. They send letters, make phone calls, and use music recognition technology to detect unlicensed music.
The penalties are real. Collecting societies can apply back charges for up to six years of prior unlicensed music use, plus a 50% surcharge on your first year if you were playing music without a licence before being contacted. Playing copyright-protected music without a licence is an infringement under the Copyright Act 1968.
With Melodial, you're fully compliant from the moment you subscribe. No risk, no paperwork, no surprises.
