More about music for your business
Business-use answer
Can a barbershop play Spotify or YouTube?
Use YouTube or Spotify as inspiration when briefing your vibe, not as the customer-facing music system. Spotify's terms describe access as personal and non-commercial, and YouTube's terms describe listening as personal and non-commercial while restricting public screening or music streaming. Sonosfera is built for eligible Sonosfera-catalogue playback in supported business spaces.

Canada music licensing
What music licences does a Canadian business need for background music?
In Canada, businesses that play background music are generally billed through Entandem, the joint venture that collects for SOCAN (authors) and Re:Sound (recorded music) in a single invoice. The exact tariff depends on your venue type and size, so check your own SOCAN and Re:Sound obligations. Sonosfera is a separate catalogue service, and its records cover only eligible Sonosfera catalogue playback.
Questions, answered.
For music in the Sonosfera catalogue: no. With an active plan, your Sonosfera subscription is your licence for our music. Sonosfera music is owned by Sonosfera and is not registered with SOCAN, Re:Sound, or Entandem or any other collecting society. Other music you play (radio, TV, Spotify, live music) still needs your SOCAN, Re:Sound, or Entandem licence.
Playback pauses until you choose a plan; nothing is deleted. Your account, zones, business profile and music preferences are all kept, so if you upgrade later you pick up exactly where you left off. The trial takes no card, so you'll never be charged automatically.
Any time, in a couple of clicks: Settings → Billing → Cancel membership. You keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for — no calls, no forms. Paid-upfront multi-year plans run to the end of their agreed term; the pricing page sets out their terms.
On this page, Sonosfera means the Sonosfera business background music service at sonosfera.app: catalogue-scoped playback, country-aware pricing, player/display tools, and certificate-ready records for eligible Sonosfera tracks. It is not the unrelated Italian Sonosfera cultural or museum project.
Sonosfera gives you business-safe playlists built for flow, not random shuffle luck. It fits best when the background layer has a clear job: Confident, upbeat, conversation-aware music that gives the shop personality without taking over. Keep Sonosfera catalogue playback separate from radio, DJs, live music, uploads, and third-party playlists.
Yes. If music is playing in a customer-facing business, licensing matters. Sonosfera is built to remove that uncertainty.
Yes. The point is not bland music. The point is controlled, brand-safe music that still gives the shop its edge.
Your subscription is your licence for Sonosfera music under an active plan. Radio, DJs, live music and other sources need separate permissions.

You won't find chart hits or specific artists. That's a licensing limitation, not a choice. But you can request the types of music, moods, and genres you want, and your input directly shapes what gets added. Sonosfera is for businesses who want curated catalogue playback that runs itself.
The track that's already playing keeps going from its buffer, and playback resumes automatically once your connection comes back. After a longer outage you may need to tap play once. Music isn't stored offline, so you'll need a working connection for continuous all-day playback.
Yes. Sign in to your Sonosfera account in any phone browser and the dashboard doubles as a remote: play or pause each zone, skip tracks, switch the vibe, and adjust the volume, all while the music keeps playing on the device connected to your speakers.
Every track is original music owned by Sonosfera, made specifically for commercial spaces. It's designed to create atmosphere, not demand attention, which is exactly what background music should do. Tap play on the sample earlier to judge for yourself.
