Licence-free background music - how it works
Soundhero's royalty-free music is rights-cleared in advance. The rights are included in the price, so you play music in your business legally without expensive music licences, business subscriptions or fees to third parties.
- No credit card
- Ready in 5 minutes
- Legal music from day one
With Soundhero you pay no separate licence to
KODA
KODA collects on behalf of composers and songwriters in Denmark. You do not pay them a separate licence when Soundhero's music plays publicly in your business.
Gramex
Gramex collects on behalf of performing artists and record labels. No separate payment is due here either - the rights are cleared in advance by our music supplier.
Commercial streaming services
You do not need an extra business licence from, for example, Soundtrack.io.
The licence in Soundhero covers the music from Soundhero. Radio, TV, live music or music from other services on the premises still require a licence. Playlists you build in the Soundhero app are covered.
Three steps to legal music
Create an account
Fill in the short sign-up form and get access immediately. No payment details, no technician, no hardware to install.
Choose your music
Pick from genres and curated playlists - from lounge and jazz to pop and R&B - or build your own and schedule them through the day.
Stream legally
Play from a PC, tablet or smartphone, or over Bluetooth to your sound system - Sonos, for example.
Ordinary commercial music vs. licence-free music
Ordinary commercial music - what you hear on the radio or on Spotify - is normally tied to collecting societies. Businesses therefore have to pay separate fees when it is played publicly.
Licence-free and royalty-free music is produced and distributed with the rights already cleared, so it can be used without separate payment to KODA and Gramex.
Soundhero's catalogue comes from professional artists and producers who are paid for their work. Every track is rights-cleared and quality-checked before it enters the catalogue.
