Clear about licensing, without guesswork
Public performance of music in a business usually needs a licence from your country’s collecting societies. Here is how Meridian works with that.
Bring your own licence
If your venue already holds a licence from a collecting society, keep it. Meridian supplies the music and the documentation; the licence stays in your name.
Playback reporting
Playback reporting is in development and is not currently available.
Channel licensing
Some recordings are produced outside collecting-society repertoire. We mark a channel PRO-free only after verifying every recording on it, and we state it per channel in your offer. Until a channel carries that mark, assume a collecting-society licence applies.
Licencēšanas pienākumi
Meridian licencē savu piegādāto mūziku. Konkrētajai vietai vajadzīgās publiskā izpildījuma atļaujas un kolektīvā pārvaldījuma organizāciju maksas joprojām var būt nepieciešamas un attiecīgajos gadījumos paliek operatora atbildība.
Straight answers
What does Meridian not do?
We do not play live radio or take song-by-song requests, we do not offer free business streaming with ads, and we do not handle your licence application for you. We supply curated music, the playback setup and the documentation.
What happens if the internet drops?
Browser playback stops until the connection returns. Offline playback is available in the native iOS and Android apps and on Barix devices; the managed Barix configuration is confirmed in your offer.
How do I cancel?
For a monthly self-serve digital plan, cancelling stops renewal and listening continues until the end of the period already paid for. Managed player agreements follow the term stated in the signed offer.
What device do I need?
It works on the device you already have: the web player in any browser, or the Meridian app on your iOS or Android phone or tablet. For a fixed, professional setup with backup playback, we offer a managed Barix player.
Can I control the music from my phone?
Yes. The web player works in your phone’s browser. Apps are intended for channels verified track by track as PRO-free. We have not published a verified list here; check the current app catalogue before venue use.
Do I still need a ZAMP or other collecting-society licence?
Usually yes. It depends on your venue, your country and the channel you play. Playback reporting is in development and is not currently available. We mark a channel PRO-free only after verifying every recording on it.
How can I pay?
Public self-serve checkout is not live yet. Contact us to arrange payment; card, Revolut and bank-transfer options are handled with us directly.
Can I play my personal Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube account in the venue?
Their terms limit those accounts to personal, non-commercial use, so playing them to guests sits outside what the subscription allows. The music legality checker lists the terms and the collecting society for your country.
Are the prices shown with or without VAT?
Every price on this site is shown excluding VAT.
Does one subscription cover several rooms or locations?
One subscription covers one playback device. A terrace and a dining room with different music are two zones. Hotels and groups with several zones or sites are set up through the managed service.
Can the music change through the day?
Yes. In the managed setup, each zone gets its own channel and schedule, matched to the time of day, so breakfast, afternoon and evening sound different without anyone changing the music.
How do I choose the right channel?
Listen first. The channel sampler plays full preview tracks with no sign-up, and the 14-day trial lets you hear a channel in your own space before you decide.
