It’s always been our mission to pay public performance royalties accurately. We've invested in a rollout of the Audoo Audio Meter™, a device which recognises music played in your business.
No matter the business, big or small, chain or independent, music sets the tone. The individuality of music in businesses – often hand-picked by the owner and their staff – helps breathe life into ordinary spaces.
An important step for any emerging, mid-career, or heritage music creator is to get paid when their music is used.
Audoo Audio Meter™ help us better identify the songs being played in businesses to give us greater insight and help inform our royalty distribution.
When you sign up for a Music Licence online, you will be asked whether you'd like to register for an Audoo Audio Meter™.
If you're already a customer with us and want to have your taste in music make more of an impact on the income of the music creators you support; you can register your interest in acquiring an Audoo Audio Meter™ for your business. Spots are limited.
It takes less than 10 minutes for an Audoo technician to visit your business and install the mobile-phone-sized device which simply plugs into your wall.
Devices are fully GDPR compliant, meaning no sensitive information is ever stored or transmitted. Audoo uses the world’s most sophisticated signal processing capabilities, which enable accurate track ID recognition even in noisy environments (no conversations or other audio is recorded). Find out more by visiting their website here.
The songs being played are relayed back to Audoo via cellular data (no Wi-Fi) and this data is then reported to APRA AMCOS (one of the organisations behind OneMusic). It consumes low levels of power (less than half of a USB phone charger’s power consumption) and won't impact your electricity bill by any noticeable level. Click here for more FAQs.
Audoo’s Audio Meters™ have been deliberately designed to be very different from typical smart devices. Where smart devices strip out background noise and focus on voice recognition, Audio Meters eliminate foreground noise to focus on the background music. There is no voice recognition or language processing occurring on Audio Meters, only music recognition. The music is then securely fingerprinted ensuring that no audio files are stored or transmitted.
Audoo's CEO and founder, Ryan Edwards (himself a musician) is on a mission to revolutionise public performance royalties. Audoo is backed by high-profile investors like Björn Ulvaeus (ABBA founder and CISAC President) and is supported by an advisory board of industry stakeholders.
We’ll know – with certainty and in detail – exactly what music everyone’s enjoying, for the very first time in public performance history.
When tracks are individually recognised, artists can expect to be paid fairly and accurately whenever and wherever their music is played. PROs and CMOs Are Quietly Reinventing Themselves — By Potentially Counting Every Single Song Played (Digital Music News).
