FAQ

Common questions.

Do reception areas need a music licence?

Can reception areas use Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube Music?

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

Reception Areas usually need polished first impression. Track Studios organizes playlists by mood and energy so teams can choose music that supports the space instead of distracting from it.
