Music licensing, explained

Playing music in a business is different from playing it at home — and it's the difference SoftWork Beats exists for.

Why your personal streaming app isn't enough

Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube are licensed for personal use only. Playing them in a waiting room or lobby isn't covered by their terms and can leave your business exposed to performing-rights claims. SoftWork Beats is licensed specifically for public, commercial playback in spaces like yours.

What playing SoftWork Beats includes

Playing SoftWork Beats through our app — free or paid — includes a public performance license for your place of business: lobby, waiting room, treatment rooms, and more. No per-song royalty paperwork, no separate license to negotiate.

In plain words, the license asks three things:

• Play through the official SoftWork Beats apps and site (don't download, re-host, or rebroadcast the music).
• Don't modify or remix the tracks.
• Follow the Terms of Service.

The full text is short and readable — see the Public Performance License for the exact terms.

Your proof of license

Active subscribers get a downloadable license certificate — simple proof for landlords, inspectors, or performing-rights organizations that the music in your space is properly licensed. It comes with every active subscription — email us whenever you need yours.
