Recorded Music NZ may have identified your business as a user of recorded music for customers, visitors or staff. That can include music in a shop, restaurant, gym, workplace, event or other public setting.
Check the letter for the correct business, premises, period and type of music use. Ask whether the request should be handled through OneMusic New Zealand and ask for the licence category and calculation before accepting a charge.
The Recorded Music NZ music in business page explains the ordinary route.
You do not need a separate Recorded Music NZ 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 Recorded Music NZ'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 Recorded Music NZ 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.
