Singing About Our Relaxation Music Library

June 30, 2014 by Guy Lewis

The largest focused relaxing music library available in today, all cloud based ready to download and play with our unique innovative download music player. The 'iTunes'® of the business background music market.

The largest focused relaxing music library available in today, all cloud based ready to download and play with our unique innovative download music player. The ‘iTunes’® of the business background music market.

Melody Pods has more relaxing music than any other royalty free music library available for background music in businesses.

We have a great collection of artists and also produce our own music to enhance the library and make sure there is a good mix of music to meet client’s needs.

With commissioned music we can give clients a far deeper connection to the music that works within their business. If you find a piece of music doesn’t fit for any reason, we have the ability to feed that back to the artist and where available, we can have a track remixed or re-arranged to meet your needs.

This level of fine tuning isn’t available to libraries who’s aim is to maximise the number of tracks available. Maximising the number of tracks in a library only means you spend more time finding the right tracks to meet your needs. Why not turn it around, define a music collection based on your brand values and your target market and lets then get that collection together for you to leverage your brand further in its sensory connection to your customers.

Do you have a music design in mind? We would be pleased to chat through your requirements.

Are you getting the best deal outsourcing your music supply and licensing?

June 26, 2014 by Guy Lewis

Is your outsourcer costing you a fortune with multiple license administration?

Outsourcing a lot of your non core business functions is a tried an tested way for businesses to lead in their markets and avoid distractions of functions they believe can be achieved better from an outsourcing specialist.

Whilst background music is known to be a key marketing asset for businesses the actual licensing and delivery of defined music collections can be complex and with traditional methods create a lot of administrative time to be resourced.

So whilst businesses outsource the supply and licensing against their defined needs the actual cost of the licensing and accuracy of the music collections against your music design blueprint may be significantly under-performing.

Take for example, Melody Pods’ wholesale licensing agreement.

With our wholesale license you can add, remove and move locations on a monthly location with no longer term contract penalties.

Not only will the Melody Pods wholesale license reduce the overall cost of licenses per year, it reduces your outsourced administration costs as there will be far less paperwork administrating to do. Simply report to us your locations for the next month and we will ensure all out music is licensed for those locations.

Even though our solution is simple and affordable, Melody Pods can turn your cost centre into profit generating by helping you manage the delivery of your branded background music.

Added to this the supply of remastered music collections to meet your defined music needs an you will see significant savings straight away.

Lastly yet not least important is that we can deliver your music to all your locations with our music distribution and playing system. Each location logs in using the Melody Pods music sync and download player, downloads the selected music collections and plays all day. Music is stored locally so you aren’t reliant on an uncongested LAN or uncontested broadband connection for permanently connected internet radio stations, no aerials and wiring permission required from landlords.

Control the music your locations play centrally, create playlists for different times of the day and for as many zones as you wish.

The Melody Pods solution covers all the needs of background music sourcing, licensing and music distribution.

Your outsourcing partner needs to know about the Melody Pods innovation in background music. Contact us today and we can talk to them about how to get the solution integrated into your outsourced location services.

Expanding International? Have You Grasped Each Country’s music licensing laws?

June 25, 2014 by Guy Lewis

ILink background music and music on hold.

International networking is complex yet only solves the actual delivery of data and information. The licensing of the data, in this case, the rights to distribute and use copyrighted music is exponentially more complex.

Expanding internationally is a complex task. You can expect everything to change.

For the use of background music, commercial use licensing and enforcement differs widely from one nation to another. Whilst many modern societies have signed up to the world treaty of intellectual property (Wipo) some have yet developed systems to manage licensing. This leaves room for confusion, interpretation and ambiguity that can make something that should be simple overly complex.

Countries with a keen intent to trade internationally understand respecting and managing the intellectual property of foreign organisation’s assets to attract inward investment yet the confusion that can happen with regards licensing music can take some time to get established and understood by the nation’s licensing authorities.

Some new organisations don’t understand their responsibility is with only PRO licensed music and require some education to establish they have no contract to collect licenses from your new international locations on our behalf however clear and unambiguous communications establishes the situation.

Managing multiple licenses with different performing rights societies is a complex and costly activity.

Managing multiple licenses with different performing rights societies is a complex and costly activity.

Separately in other countries there are organisations that seem to scam company’s for license payments when there is clear evidence they have no collection rights for with PRO or non PRO music.

With Melody Pods things are simple. We don’t use any performing or compositional rights collecting agencies to collect in the artist’s home country nor foreign countries via inter-PRO agreements.

With Melody Pods you are covered with fully licensed music and a delivery system that uses open standards and devices that have the highest penetration across the globe.

Expanding Internationally? come and talk to us about the challenges of multi-national licensing today.

Melody Pods Shows Telcos The Way To Reduce Licensing And Administration Costs Whilst Improving Customer Service And Compeitiveness

June 23, 2014 by Guy Lewis

 

Turn that growing cost centre into a profit centre by getting a multi-site license from Melody Pods

Turn that growing cost centre into a profit centre by getting a multi-site license from Melody Pods

A bold statement? When can a music technology business show telecoms & IT service providers a better way to deliver and manage technology?

When it comes to delivering world class music we certainly can.

Melody Pods has embraced new business methods and technology that blow away the traditional ways for licensing and delivering music to businesses worldwide.

Reduce the costs of licensing: Use Melody Pods sourced, licensed and mastered music. Our music is pre-cleared for use as background music in commercial environments and we pay all royalties directly to the artists so there is no extra cost involved with performing rights societies for the artists and for you. This efficient way of paying the right artists with the right royalties is something the performing rights societies can not achieve with commercial background music in business. But we can so we know what is being played by our clients earns for the owner of the music. This efficiency means we cost you less for the same service using our music library.

Reduce costs of administration: let clients choose their own music, avoid having to change playlists on their behalf. Let them simply un-tick tracks they feel don’t meet their needs rather than having to request a playlist change for everyone

Reduce the time you spend managing your client’s multiple licenses per location. Before you even pay these costs and see the cash leave your business with no profit earned you know you will be paying for staff to administer all of these licenses. With annual licensing the norm there is a bit of inflexibility added to the situation but your main cost could still be the administration people resources required to keep on top of these licenses, either as a central role or passed over to busy local managers.

Focus your teams instead on marketing the new music and working with clients to brand music playlists to better suit their client bases, creating reception and welcome music playlists, either using their existing technology such as iLink players, or where new locations are being built, use the Melody Pods players for both reception welcome music and personal and zone areas music.

 Melody Pods’ music delivery service is fast and regular

Our pace of technical development leaves the traditional technologies used for background music and music on hold systems lagging behind customer requirements.

With good channels of feedback we can have new features distributed to client’s within days. We can deliver developments on a generic and to suit market segments.

And finally, reduce your costs further with a wholesale licenses agreement

Yet whilst for the US you will be looking at 3 licenses and in the UK, 2, if you subscribe to one of our music delivery services you can be assured of a simple monthly rolling fee with no long term commitments and no complex range of licenses to also keep managed. We manage all usage revenues (ie royalties) because we know who is playing what music and pay artists direct as they contract us directly rather than via a rights society to collect for the music they sign into our library.

If you are a service provider looking to cover all costs of music for your enterprise clients then your headache is solved with Melody Pods. But what about multiple ownership networks such as cooperatives and franchises?

How can you offer a group discount without risking being loaded with high administration costs of multiple business license agreements ?

Again, just bring the problem to us and reduce not only your licensing costs but also your administrative costs. Depending on what service suits your service design for your client one way or another we will have enough details to assign the right royalties to the right artists for direct, simple and efficient payments.

Please get in contact today and tell us about your needs.

Getting Background Music To Your Franchisees

June 20, 2014 by Guy Lewis

Franchise open for businessSo you have a great business concept and you are rolling it out across the world. You have centralised systems in place to train and support your franchisees.

Your branding is managed passionately ensuring a consistent message across locations, advertising and online presences.

You have great teams supporting your franchisees and they feel loved. Outsourcing non core functions makes a lot of sense so you can focus on delivering and tuning best practice from your own locations and rolling out updates to all your partners.

Yet when it comes to music you can feel like the traditional performing rights society solutions leave your partners to make up their own minds about what music reflects your service and thus brand across your network.Signing multiple license agreements for different locations costs service providers a lot in administration manpower.

You may have a team who can define the music you want all locations to use but how do your partners acquire this music? can you ensure correctly are all fully licensed? And can they manage a regular flow of music ensuring consistency of style against your music design blueprint?

Franchisers partner with Melody Pods because we offer a complete solution for designing, acquiring, licensing, mastering and delivering a consistent collection of music on a regular basis.

personalize the playlist you offer in your treatment rooms

We do all this in addition to offering world class technology to enable centralised management of music collections across multiple locations, multiple zones and at a total cost that is a fraction of the cost of traditional methods of playing music  across multiple locations.

Franchising produces additional commercial complexities because partners need to design solutions that enable multiple customers to buy into the services rather than the usual luxury of a single billing point normally associated with a corporate client.
