What does the IMRO and PPI Dual Music Licence cover?

The licence combines permission for the public performance of musical works and sound recordings in the business uses covered by the selected tariff. This is the ordinary route for recorded background or featured music in Irish premises.

It is not automatically permission to copy music, place music into a video, livestream an event, use music online or use a different catalogue or territory. Check the written terms for those uses.

The IMRO Code of Conduct describes the two rights and the combined licence model.

You do not need the dual IMRO and PPI licence if you only use MelloJam

If your business plays only MelloJam music through the MelloJam player, you are not using music from the repertoire covered by IMRO and PPI's licensing route. MelloJam's original catalogue and the commercial playback rights it controls are included in your MelloJam plan, so you do not need a separate licence from IMRO and PPI for the MelloJam playback itself.

A separate non-waivable venue charge can still apply where local law imposes one. Radio, television, Spotify, other recordings, live music, DJs, events, copying and online use are outside the MelloJam plan.
