Do I require a license to play music in my venue?

Yes. If you play music publicly in your venue, such as in a restaurant, gym, retail store, club, or other business, you may require the appropriate music licenses to ensure the music is legally used for commercial purposes.

There are generally two types of licensing requirements:

Public Performance License

A Public Performance License gives your business permission to play music in a public space.

Mechanical Rights License

A Mechanical Rights License covers the legal copying, storage, and use of music for commercial playback systems, such as digital music players, apps, or media devices.

This ensures music can be legally copied and played through approved commercial systems.

What Does Audalize Cover?

Audalize covers the Mechanical Rights License, which allows music to be legally copied and played through Audalize devices.

However, venues are still responsible for obtaining a Public Performance License to legally play music publicly within their business.

This is typically obtained through OneMusic Australia.
