Background music plays a crucial role in creating the desired atmosphere and ambiance in any business. In addition to well-known commercial music and customized music formats, Xenox offers you the option of using royalty-free music in your establishment. But what exactly does royalty-free music mean, and what are the advantages and disadvantages?
Advantages of Royalty-Free Music with Unison
Royalty-free music refers to music for which the copyright has been released or for which the necessary licenses have been obtained. This means you can use the music freely without worrying about copyright infringement or license fees. At Xenox, we collaborate with Unison, the most advanced and innovative royalty-free music platform in Europe.
One of the biggest advantages of royalty-free music is legal compliance. You can play the music freely in your store without needing to ask permission from individual artists or record labels.
Another advantage is cost savings. Compared to using commercial music, which requires licenses and royalties, royalty-free music can be much more cost-effective. With Unison, you get access to high-quality background music for businesses without ongoing licensing costs. This allows you to save on your music budget while still enjoying professionally produced tracks.
As a customer, you benefit from the convenience and efficiency of royalty distribution through our partnership with Unison. Unison ensures a fair and transparent distribution of royalties to the artists. This means that not only can you use royalty-free music, but you are also contributing to the music industry by supporting artists.

Considerations When Using Royalty-Free Music
While royalty-free music offers many advantages, it is important to consider a few potential drawbacks. Royalty-free music is generally less familiar to the general public, as it often does not come from well-known artists or popular hits. This can affect the recognizability and emotional connection that the music has with your customers.
Another downside of using royalty-free music is that the selection may be more limited compared to commercial music. While royalty-free music libraries offer a wide range of tracks, you might not always find the perfect song that seamlessly aligns with your specific preferences or the desired ambiance in, for example, your store.
