PRS PPL music licence. I had an interesting conversation today.

[tigi]

We opened our second salon do not play music in it as I have not got round to sorting out the licences. Anyway, I called PRSPPL yesterday and had an interesting conversation.

I wanted to know how much my licences would be and was told that because I only intend to play relaxation music in the treatment room and no radio, if i intend to use royalty free music then I can buy it, post the inlays to them and they will let me know if i need a licence for it .

Apparently, lots of relaxation music falls into this category EVEN if it does not state it is royalty free.

I have bought a couple of cds today and am going to send them off. Ill let you know the outcome and I also though I would share this interesting pices of information with you.

I bought some royalty free music CDs, I think they were £12 each then forwarded the track list to the PPL and PRS people, and now I dont have to have a licence.
