Problem
Businesses need background music that complies with performance rights licensing, but consumer‑grade streaming services lack the legal coverage, reporting mechanisms, and administrative controls required for commercial use, exposing venues to infringement risk and limiting brand‑aligned music programming.
Solution
Soundtrack delivers a cloud‑native music streaming platform built expressly for commercial environments. The service provides a catalog of over 125 million tracks and 2,000+ curated playlists, all covered by ASCAP, BMI, and GMR licenses for business use. An AI‑powered station engine generates genre‑ or mood‑based playlists on demand, while users can also upload custom tracklists and schedule playback by zone or time of day. A centralized web dashboard lets operators manage multiple locations, enforce family‑friendly explicit‑lyric filters, and adjust programming in real time from any device. Integrated royalty‑tracking ensures accurate reporting to rights holders, and an open API with SAML‑based SSO enables seamless integration with existing POS, digital signage, or hospitality management systems. The platform is available via native iOS/Android apps and optional on‑premise hardware, providing offline playback where connectivity is limited.
Target Audience
The platform targets mid‑size to enterprise retailers, hospitality venues, fitness centers, medical and dental offices, and corporate campuses that require compliant, centrally managed background music across multiple sites.
