The next generation of venue music
3 reasons your venue deserves better.
The third might surprise you.

01 / Happier guests
Make your guests happier.
Original music made for business, matched to your venue — not picked from the charts.
Independent research — not CXProMusic results.
Study details
85% and 79%
One online survey, run by NRG for BMI in 2022, of 1,000 U.S. adults who visit restaurants and bars at least three times a month. The figures are what respondents said about themselves — they are happier, and more likely to stay longer, when good music is playing. They are not measured increases in satisfaction or in time spent.
+9.1%
A 2017 field experiment across 16 chain restaurants in the Stockholm area, run by researchers at HUI with a music vendor: a playlist of only brand-fit songs raised revenue 9.1 percent compared with music that did not fit the brand. An experimentally observed result in those restaurants, not a guarantee for yours.
02 / Music autopilot
Your music. On autopilot.
Set the atmosphere once. Let CXProMusic handle the rest.

03 / Peace of mind
Don’t let music cost you thousands.

Breaking a consumer service’s terms is not the same as copyright infringement. Whether a venue holds the rights it needs depends on the music, where it comes from and the licenses it holds; many venues hold blanket licenses from ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or GMR. This page is not legal advice for yours.
The ranges the law allows
U.S. copyright law lets a court award statutory damages of $750 to $30,000 per work, and up to $150,000 per work where the infringement was willful. These are the ranges a court may award, not the expected penalty.
