PPL may believe your business uses recorded music in public. This can include music from a radio, television, digital device, background music provider or another recording source.
Check the letter against the business name, premises, music use, dates and licence category. Ask PPL or PPL PRS to explain which recorded music rights and tariff apply before accepting a quote.
Start with the official PPL licensing page and its link to TheMusicLicence.
You do not need a separate PPL 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 PPL'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 PPL 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.
