Businesses across Australia have the chance to win a $5000 live music package or one of 10 x $300 JB Hi-Fi gift vouchers in a competition from OneMusic Australia, but entries close tomorrow, 18 September 2025.
OneMusic, which provides more than 100,000 music licences to businesses nationally, said the promotion is a way to highlight both the benefits of music in business and the importance of proper licensing.
Fast facts on music licensing:
- Music licensing fees generate royalties for the artists, songwriters and rights holders behind the music.
- Research consistently shows music positively influences customer experience and business performance.
- Most businesses using music – whether via radio, live performance or streaming – require a licence or explicit permission.
- Streaming services such as Spotify are generally licensed for personal use only and do not provide the legal right to play music in commercial settings.
Under Australian copyright law, any business playing recorded or live music in public must obtain the relevant permissions – a process OneMusic streamlines with its all-in-one licensing system.
