FAQ

Common questions.

Do hardware stores need a music licence?

In most countries, playing music in public or customer-facing hardware stores spaces is treated as a public performance and needs appropriate rights. Track Studios helps by providing an owned catalog that is not registered with collecting societies; customer uploads and third-party audio remain the customer's responsibility.

Can hardware stores use Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube Music?

Consumer music services are generally licensed for personal listening, not business playback in public spaces. Hardware Stores should use a business music service or another properly licensed source.

What kind of music works best for hardware stores?

Hardware Stores usually need practical retail energy. Track Studios organizes playlists by mood and energy so teams can choose music that supports the space instead of distracting from it.

Can Track Studios support multiple zones in hardware stores?

Yes. Track Studios supports location workflows and streaming URLs so teams can manage different spaces such as aisles, trade counters, checkout areas with clear operational control.
