Apple Music for Business rolling out.


9 to 5 Mac:

Apple Music is now partnering with businesses to play music at retail stores. In a partnership with PlayNetwork, businesses can sign up to Apple Music for Business plans and get licensed music to be played in their retail locations with Apple providing human-curated playlists and even custom recommendations matched to the individual store brand.

The report via The Wall Stree Journal indicates the custom playlists are a part of the licensing agreement. Retailer Harrods has been reportedly using the service for the past weeks. As part of the arrangement, the retailer has in-store billboards promoting Apple Music.

Conventionally, music labels require unique licensing for businesses to use their content for customers in a retail or service setting.
