Music for retail & boutiques.
Mood that matches the season, not the algorithm. Track Studios is built for stores and boutiques that want background music with personality — and no licensing surprises.
Why it fits.
Mood, not muzak.
Curated by ex-Spotify and Apple Music people. Your store sounds like a brand, not a hold line.
Seasonal scheduling.
Different playlist for January vs. June. Holiday programming you set once and forget.
No rights-org fees.
Owned AI catalog means STIM, PRS, SACEM and friends can't bill you. Certificate included.
Queue store announcements.
Sale promos, store closing reminders, new arrivals — between tracks, on your schedule.
Brand consistency.
One playlist across every store. Or unique mixes per location. Run it all from one tab.
Frameable certificate.
A signed PDF for the wall behind the counter. End of conversation with any inspector.
What works in your space.
Pre-built schedules and tempo defaults you can use day one. Switch any time.
We chose Track Studios because it sounds like our brand, not a generic department-store playlist. Worth it for that alone — the savings are a bonus.
What retail owners ask.
Do retail stores need a music licence?
Yes. Background music in a retail store is a public performance under copyright law and requires appropriate licensing. Playing consumer streaming services like Spotify in a store violates their Terms of Service and can lead to retroactive collecting society invoices.
What type of music increases sales in retail?
Research consistently shows mid-tempo music (80–110 BPM) increases dwell time and average spend. Slower tempos suit grocery and luxury environments; faster tempos suit fast-fashion. The right choice depends on your brand positioning and customer profile.
Can a retail store use Spotify?
No. Spotify is licensed for personal, non-commercial use only. Playing it in a retail environment violates its Terms of Service and may lead to retroactive invoices from collecting societies like STIM, ASCAP, or PRS.
How do collecting society fees work for retail?
If you play commercially registered music, collecting societies are entitled to invoice you based on your floor area, opening hours, and annual revenue. Track Studios' AI catalog is not registered with collecting societies, so venues using the included music receive no invoices from them.
Does Track Studios work with Sonos in a retail space?
Yes. Track Studios provides a streaming URL with every subscription that can be added to Sonos as an internet radio station, enabling hands-free music management through your existing speaker setup.
Can I schedule different music for different trading periods?
Yes. Track Studios' daypart scheduling lets you set quieter background music in the morning and more energetic playlists during peak trading hours, all automatically and without staff intervention.
