Business audio providers include Muzak Holdings LLC, DMX, PlayNetwork, XM for Business, Music Choice, SIRIUS Business, Rock 300, and Trusonic. In the United States, the terms elevator music and muzak are commonly used to refer to business audio services that provide background music in retail settings.

History

Technology

Business audio is produced off-site and delivered to the commercial client via a number of different methods including DBS satellite, SDARS satellite, coaxial cable, FM radio subcarrier, leased line, internet broadband, compact disc, and tape.

Legal issues

Most audio content is licensed for personal and home use only. Business audio services allow clients to use audio content in public and commercial settings by paying appropriate royalties to performing rights organizations like ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and GEMA in Germany.
