Licensed background music for salons

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 keeps the room polished with business-safe playlists, predictable sound, and no extra licensing layer to manage. It fits best when the background layer has a clear job: Warm, contemporary, conversation-friendly music that supports trust without crowding the room. Keep Sonosfera catalogue playback separate from radio, DJs, live music, uploads, and third-party playlists.

Not for normal commercial playback. Their consumer plans are personal-use products, which is why salons end up juggling extra licensing and compliance risk.

Usually contemporary, tasteful, low-friction music that feels premium and conversation-safe. The job is atmosphere, not attention.

Not for eligible Sonosfera catalogue playback at covered premises. Our catalogue is owned outright and isn't registered with PPL PRS, so TheMusicLicence isn't needed for Sonosfera playback. PPL, PRS, and TheMusicLicence may still be relevant if your venue also plays Spotify, radio, DJs, live music, uploaded files, or third-party playlists.

Yes. Sonosfera's catalogue is owned outright and isn't registered with any collecting society, so eligible playback of the Sonosfera catalogue is properly cleared for supported commercial settings, with certificate-ready records to prove it. It does not cover Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, radio, DJs, live music, uploads, or third-party playlists — those keep their own routes.

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.

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 carry a 14-day money-back window instead; after that, the agreed term runs to its end.

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 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 £149.90/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.
