PRS PPL-Free Music. Save Money, Stay Compliant

If you play standard commercial music in your business, you’ll need a PRS and PPL Music Licence. With Background Sounds, you don’t.

Typically, we save businesses 50-70% on the cost of playing music when they swap from paying for a PRS PPL music licence to using our service.

What Is Royalty-Free Music?

It’s music that can be played publicly without paying PRS PPL for a music licence. This is because PRS and PPL do not collect royalties for these artists; instead, they are paid via a music licensing company.

It’s a far more cost-effective way for businesses to enhance their space with music whilst still harnessing the many benefits of playing background music.

Stream Relaxing Background Music on Your Device

royalty-free music streaming for business

There’s no expensive hardware system to buy when you use Background Sounds. You stream the music from our website to a device of your choice. That could be a phone, tablet, PC or laptop.

Once you have selected a playlist, it will continue to play on a loop until you pause it or select another playlist.

FAQ Playing Music in Your Spa, Therapy Room, or Wellness Studio

Can I play music in my spa without a PRS or PPL licence?

Yes, but only if you use royalty-free music, also known as PRS/PPL-free music.

With Background Sounds, every playlist is cleared for business use without a PRS or PPL licence. Many owners search for what music can I play in my spa without a licence.  This is your answer.

What is royalty-free music for spas?

Royalty-free spa music is music you can legally play in your business without paying for a PRS PPL music licence. We curate our playlists from rights-inclusive tracks by independent musicians worldwide, so you can relax knowing you’re fully compliant.

Is it legal to play relaxing music in my beauty salon or yoga studio?

Yes, the important part is to ensure you have the correct license in place. If you play commercial music from popular artists, you’ll need a PRS and PPL licence (in the UK).

You do not need a PRS PPL music licence when you stream music from Background Sounds because our artists are not registered with PRS and PPL. 

Why should I use PRS/PPL-free music instead of popular songs?

That’s a personal choice and depends on your business. Using PRS/PPL free music can save your business hundreds of pounds a year, while still creating the perfect relaxing atmosphere for your clients. 

Many of our customers use background music to create a subtle ambience and put their clients at ease, to fill the space and break the silence. They don’t need popular, well-known songs to do this, so royalty-free music fits the bill perfectly.

How do I start using license-free spa music?

Sign up for a free trial, log in to your account, choose a playlist, and press play. That’s it. There’s no complicated setup,  just easy access to calming background music for your spa, salon, or therapy space.
