There are governing bodies which represent music artists and songwriters for the right to publicly broadcast many audio works. These include APRA (Australasian Performing Right Association) & PPNZ (Phonographic Performances New Zealand) whom charge licence fees to businesses / organisations for playing the radio or comercially released music on hold. 

From a telephone on hold point of view, these bodies calculate this cost based predominantly based on how many incoming phone lines your business has. Typically fees can range from $100 to in excess of $1000+ per year.

There are also copyright, licensing & re-broadcast constraints permitting your business from playing certain content.

The good news is that all messages recorded and music supplied by Evolved Sound will not occur any additional fees once purchased. We cover the specific licenced usage in the context of telephone on hold content delivery, eliminating your legal requirement to pay any ongoing fees to these governing bodies. This results in significant yearly savings, particularly when multiple lines exis.
