Our Services
White-Glove Onboarding
We can provide a music solution for any sized venue, any genres of music, any quantity of unique channels.
Our founders will meet your operations team, study your venue, design a custom music profile to reflect your brand. We program all of the content, knowledge and skill of a professional DJ into your Music Player.
We’ll collaborate, listen, talk the principals through every step, and we happily accept all requests.
Human Curation
Music is about feel, understanding how songs might flow together, sometimes unexpectedly. An experienced ear is always a better selector than an algorithm. Blending that human quality with intelligent automation is the key to our success.
Our curators dig deep, focus on your business and build a soundtrack to energize your venue, your team and your customers.
Full Rotation
Our attention to detail and customization is unmatched in the industry.
Hundreds of thousands of songs—any genre, any artist, any era, set to any schedule, for any sized venue. The right mood, the proper tempo, served up daily by our Music Player, without repeats and without problems.
Always On
Superior performance, world-class reliability. The music never stops—music files are maintained on the player, so even if the internet connection goes down, the music keeps playing. This ensures premium sound quality and guarantees 99.9% uptime.
Mind of a DJ
Playback Prodigy infuses the mind of a DJ into every Music Player we build. Our playback software incorporates pro DJ techniques, such as sorting by BPM and mood. All music is optimized for levels, edited for length and EQ’d for clarity. Transitions are a smooth crossfade, there is no silence between tracks.
Tailored For Business
All our music is non-explicit and business friendly. We are compliant with Performance Rights Organizations ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and Global Music Rights, which means we cover your venue’s background music rights for as long as you retain our services—for no additional cost!
Music Player
Our Playback Prodigy Music Player—it's a mini-PC not much bigger than a cell phone—is delivered to the property’s A/V room and connected to the existing sound system and the internet.
The music player requires no interaction from your management, and all of the music files live locally on the player. Each player delivers one dedicated, 24-hour channel of music to a specified venue or zone.
