Licensed Business Music — For Your Location and Your Lines.
Over 70 hand-crafted, commercial-free music stations. Fully licensed for business use — we handle all ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC fees and reporting so you never have to worry about it.
Playing unlicensed music in your business is illegal — and ASCAP actively enforces it.
ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC send inspectors into businesses to identify unlicensed music. Fines can reach $150,000 per infringement. Streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music are not licensed for business use — a personal subscription does not cover commercial public performance. Phonewire’s music service includes all commercial licensing and handles all royalty reporting on your behalf. You play the music; we handle the compliance.
Two Ways Businesses Use This Service
Background Music for Your Location
Set the mood in your restaurant, retail store, gym, spa, salon, hotel lobby, or office. Schedule different stations for different times of day — upbeat during lunch, relaxed in the evening. Managed from a single online dashboard for one location or many.
Music On Hold for Your Phone System
Replace silence, radio stations (unlicensed), or generic beep-tones on hold with professionally curated music — plus a custom, professional voice-over message that promotes your business, announces hours, or describes your services while callers wait.
