One Licence. OneMusic.
A OneMusic licence gives you the permission you need to play music in your business, while supporting the people that make the music you love.
Why do I need a licence to play music?
The benefits of using music
A OneMusic licence gives you legal access to the world’s music and brings you into the music economy, allowing even more music to be created.
How does the law apply to music licensing?
Having permission to play music in a business setting is a legal requirement under the Copyright Act (1968), regardless of what industry you operate in or how you play music.

Using APRA AMCOS’ and PPCA’s huge database of songs and recordings, OneMusic ensures that music creators are paid so they can keep on making the music we love.
