“I run a salon. For years the music was the one thing I never had time to get right — too risky to wing it, too fiddly to fix. So we built the thing I wished existed.”
Two promises went into it. Every track is original and owned outright — there's nothing borrowed in the mix. And you can always show proof of what you're playing, on your terms, the moment anyone asks.
That's the whole idea. Good music for your room, and your peace of mind. And if you ever need help, you get me — I still answer support myself.

“We were paying close to £600 a year for licences we barely understood. This is a fraction of that, and honestly the room sounds calmer for it.”

“Saved around £500 a year and the playlists actually suit a barbershop. Already recommended it to three other shops on the street.”

UK music licensing
How much does a UK music licence cost for a business?
In the UK, most businesses that play mainstream commercial music need TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS. Published rates start from £335 per year for general hospitality spaces up to 400 m², with the exact price depending on your sector, floor area, and how music is used. Sonosfera is a separate, catalogue-specific option, not a replacement for checking your own licensing route.
Business-use answer
Can YouTube or Spotify be used for hotels music?
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.
Questions, answered.
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 helps hospitality teams keep the sound calm, premium, and appropriate across multiple guest touchpoints. It fits best when the background layer has a clear job: Polished, premium background music that makes the property feel consistent and intentionally run. Keep Sonosfera catalogue playback separate from radio, DJs, live music, uploads, and third-party playlists.
It should. Lobby, breakfast, bar, and lounge spaces often need different pacing even when the overall brand feel stays consistent.
Because real properties change by hour and by zone. Good background music adapts to that operational reality.
Sonosfera is built for eligible business playback of the Sonosfera catalogue in supported commercial settings. It does not cover Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, radio, DJs, live music, uploads, or third-party playlists.
Sonosfera is a business music product with venue playlists, certificate-ready records for eligible accounts, and a catalogue-specific playback route. Personal streaming accounts are not the same as commercial venue playback rights — in the UK, society fees (TheMusicLicence, PPL PRS) are billed on top of any streaming subscription and scale with rooms and headcount. Sonosfera's owned catalogue replaces that licensing stack for eligible catalogue playback.
Any internet-connected device works — computer, tablet, smart TV, or dedicated media player. Just connect to your existing sound system.
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.
Absolutely. Business plans support multi-location management from a single dashboard — perfect for chains and franchises.
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 — while the music keeps playing on the device connected to your speakers.
Every track is composed by professional musicians 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.
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.
Sonosfera uses its own catalogue route instead of giving access to every mainstream song. That keeps the product focused and affordable. Traditional licensing costs £470/year; Sonosfera starts at £203.88/year.
If your room needs chart hits, specific artists, DJ sets, or live-music cover, a blanket society licence is the right tool — and we'll tell you so. Sonosfera is for venues that want great background atmosphere from a catalogue we own outright, with proof on hand, and none of the licensing stack.
Yes. Every paid plan comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee — a full refund within 14 days of your first payment, no questions asked. The free trial itself never charges you anything. See the refund policy for the details.
Create your account (30 seconds), pick your business type, and start listening. No credit card needed. The whole process takes about 3 minutes.
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.
