LET US MANAGE YOUR MUSIC LICENSING

There are four Performance Rights Organizations (PROs): ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR. These organizations are not scams; they are nonprofit entities that ensure artists receive fair compensation. Approximately 90% of the fees collected by PROs are distributed back to the artists.

Businesses have an obligation to track every song played and its duration, submitting this information to both the PROs and Sound Exchange. We facilitate this process for you. Moreover, businesses must use legally licensed music. Fitness facilities offering instructor-led group classes are particularly obligated to use such music and obtain fitness class/public performance licenses to comply with regulations.

Licenses are renewed annually and typically cost between $1,500 and $2,500 per year. The exact amount depends on factors such as the number of members and the weekly capacity of the facility.

When we handle your licensing, you benefit from the convenience of monthly payments instead of hefty annual charges.

Every musical recording embodies two distinct copyrighted works. The first is the underlying musical composition, comprised of the written notes and lyrics (a “musical work”). The songwriter and/or his or her music publisher usually own the copyright in the musical work. The second copyrighted work is the actual recording itself – the sounds, including the recording artist’s interpretation of the musical composition, and the creative efforts of the producer, sound engineers and background musicians (a “sound recording”).

SoundExchange collects and distributes royalties associated with the sound recordings made by services operating under one of the statutory licenses. By contrast, ASCAP, BMI and SESAC collect and distribute royalties associated with the public performance of musical works.

Where do we start?!

1. Our professional DJs create all of our mixes and collaborate with fitness Coaches. We don’t pull mix files from online vendors or use bots to create shuffled playlists. Our DJs have been making music specifically for fitness for over a decade!

2. Our app has innovative features for Coaches to enhance the class experience, like our one tap cooldown or volume controls, or our Max Out button.

3. Our music has a much lower skip rate (0.58 skips/hr) compared to Spotify playlists (14.65 skips/hr). Although consumer apps aren't permitted for business use, competitors employ a comparable shuffle format.

4. Our support team are experienced fitness industry professionals. Your account leaders understand fitness operations and experience.

5. We are also the only one-stop-shop that can provide a scheduler for overhead music, an app for GX music, and can manage your additional licensing for you!
