Five questions, answered for this platform specifically.
Soundtrack Your Brand receives music through approved distributors and rights holders who submit audio files, metadata, and licensing details. Once processed, tracks are added to the company’s extensive playlist library used in retail, dining, fitness, and hospitality environments worldwide.
Unlike consumer platforms like Spotify or Apple Music, Soundtrack Your Brand provides fully licensed commercial music designed for public and business environments. It ensures legal compliance for in store playback and offers tools tailored to business needs.
The platform requires accurate metadata such as track titles, artist names, genre tags, tempo, and mood descriptors. Distributors ensure this information is properly formatted to help curators place songs in the appropriate business playlists.
Professional music curators evaluate songs based on brand fit, audio quality, lyrical content, mood, and tempo. Tracks must meet commercial suitability standards, including restrictions on explicit content or themes inappropriate for public spaces.
Soundtrack Your Brand pays performance royalties through public performance licensing agreements. Usage data is reported to rights organizations, and payments flow to labels, publishers, and artists through standard distribution and PRO channels.
