Music Providers and STIM – Everything You Need to Know
STIM collaborates with several music providers to ensure that songwriters and composers receive proper compensation for their music. By working together, STIM gains access to detailed information about which music is played in various businesses. This allows us to distribute money more accurately to those who created the music.
What is a music provider?
Music providers are companies that offer tailored music solutions to businesses such as restaurants, shops, and gyms. They deliver playlists designed for different environments and moods, making it easy for businesses to create the right atmosphere. Such services are an important complement to STIM's work in supporting copyright and the value of music.
Why can’t I use my personal streaming account?
Personal streaming services such as Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music have pricing and terms that are designed for personal use and not for public performance in a business.
There are several music providers that STIM collaborates with, and they can help you easily get started with music in your business.
Among these providers are Soundtrack, Royal Streaming, Baked, and Heartbeats, all of which offer commercially licensed music solutions for businesses. Currently, STIM has a more in-depth collaboration with Soundtrack, an interactive and user-friendly streaming service similar to Spotify but specifically adapted for commercial use.
With Soundtrack, businesses have full control and flexibility over the music played, making it easy to create the right atmosphere while also ensuring compliance with the regulations for music usage in a safe and seamless way. Try Soundtrack for free for two weeks and see if it fits your business.
