More about music for your business
Business-use answer
Can a hotel 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.

New Zealand music licensing
What should a New Zealand venue budget for music licensing?
Founder-commissioned 2026 research puts the OneMusic NZ legal baseline at about NZ$715–758 per year for a small streaming venue, including a NZ$350.07 Digital Delivery add-on. Your tariff can differ by venue and use, so check your exact OneMusic NZ obligations. Sonosfera pricing is separate and its account records are limited to eligible Sonosfera catalogue playback.
Questions, answered.
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.

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.
Any internet-connected device works: computer, tablet, smart TV, or dedicated media player. Just connect to your existing sound system.
Absolutely. Business plans support multi-location management from a single dashboard, perfect for chains and franchises.
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.
