How do I check the RE:SOUND part of an invoice?

First check whether the invoice is from RE:SOUND directly or from Entandem. Compare the business name, premises, account number, licence period, recorded music use, tariff and any capacity, area or admission figure.

If SOCAN is also included, ask for the RE:SOUND sound recording amount separately. If a supplier is meant to pay on your behalf, provide the subscription terms and ask the issuer to confirm whether the obligation has been satisfied.

Use the official RE:SOUND FAQ or Entandem account route to request an explanation.

You do not need a separate RE:SOUND 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 RE:SOUND'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 RE:SOUND 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.
