SoundBeat is a music licensing subscription for creators and businesses — stream and download rights-cleared music for your videos, podcasts, stores and venues, all covered by one monthly plan.
How to cancel your music society licence
If your venue only plays SoundBeat music covered by our rights, you may no longer need a separate music society licence.

Play only covered SoundBeat music
This only applies if you stop playing radio, TV, Spotify or other music in the venue. Any other music still needs a society licence.
