Soundsuit music is licensed for commercial and public use (such as in restaurants, airports, etc.).
On the contrary, consumer music services like Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, Youtube, etc. are only licensed for private individual use.
If you as a owner use Soundsuit in your business, you comply with the law.
Ja, Geschäfte, die Soundsuit nutzen, müssen trotzdem individuelle Gebühren an die GEMA abführen.
Die Höhe der monatlichen Gebühren bei der GEMA/SACEM/AKM/usw. richtet sich nach der Art Ihres Unternehmens und dort dann nach spezifischen Kriterien. Im Falle eines Einzelhandelsgeschäfts ist es die Raumgröße. Im Online-Tariffinder können Sie sich über Ihren passenden Tarif informieren. Nachfolgend sehen Sie den Tarifauszug für Einzelhandelsgeschäfte, Arztpraxen, Friseurbetriebe und Ähnliche.
Erfahren Sie mehr über die Gebühren, die Sie als Geschäftsinhaber in Deutschland bezahlen müssen:
GEMA-Gebühren für die Verwendung von Hintergrundmusik an einem gewerblichen Standort >
Durch die Zahlung dieser Gebühren halten Sie als Unternehmer noch nicht komplett des Gesetzes ein. Um 100% zu erfüllen, müssen Sie auch einen Musikdienst verwenden, der für die kommerzielle Nutzung lizenziert ist. Wie z.B. Soundsuit!
Soundsuit owns agreements with – and reverses significant fees to – several institutions which represent and protect the rights of music creators.
In Germany: GEMA and the GVL. Learn more about GEMA >
In France: SACEM and the SPRE. Learn more about SACEM >
By reversing high compensation to music creators, Soundsuit is also a fair player of the music industry who respects and finances artists.
Solutions like MP3 playlists, consumer CDs, or B2C online music services (e.g. Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, YouTube, etc.) are not legal for commercial use in a business.
These solutions are only and strictly licensed for private use (e.g. a person at home with his friends or family), but not for commercial or public use (e.g. in a café, hotel, airport, etc.).
A solution like Soundsuit is fully licensed for commercial and public use.
To comply 100% with the law, you as a business owner needs to use a professional music service, that complies with the broadcasting of music in commercial and public places. Soundsuit is licensed for this specific use – broadcasting of music in commercial and public places – and pays then more royalties to artists, than B2C music services like Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube Music and others do. Consequently Soundsuit is more expensive than B2C services. Soundsuit is then more fair to artists and record companies. Because fully legal!
To learn and understand more about this differences between the use of music in a private sphere and in a commercial or public place, read this great article from the Wall Street Journal:

In 3 kurzen Schritten, werden Sie Soundsuit auf Ihrem Sonos System streamen:
Hinzufügen eines Musikdienstes zu Sonos >
Sonos is broadcasting Soundsuit music based on the settings that you selected on the Soundsuit web app (i.e. soundsuit.fm/play): business type, customer age, decor/atmosphere, etc.
If you are changing your settings on the Soundsuit web app (i.e. soundsuit.fm/play), then Sonos will play Soundsuit according to these updated settings with a short delay of three songs in the playlist. This means that, after you saved your new settings on the Soundsuit web app (i.e. soundsuit.fm/play), it will take to Sonos three songs to reflect the new music direction you defined. from the 4th song on, your music direction will be the one you just saved on the Soundsuit web app (i.e. soundsuit.fm/play).
Important remark: the Soundsuit music played via the Soundsuit web app (i.e. soundsuit.fm/play) and the Soundsuit music broadcasted one the Sonos speakers may differ. This is not a mistake or a technical issue. both music streams do actually match the central settings you defined on the Soundsuit web app (i.e. soundsuit.fm/play). However the titles may not play in the exact same sequential order on both platforms (Soundsuit.fm vs Sonos), due to technical constraints.
Please try first unplugging from power all of your Sonos devices. Then reboot your Internet router. Then please go back and plug in one of your Sonos devices, and wait a minute or two to finish booting up before moving on to the next speaker to plug it in.
That might take care of your issue, but if not, please submit a system diagnostic to Sonos within 10 minutes of experiencing the lost connection issue, and directly call in to Sonos to get their assistance.
You may have not yet activated the „crossfade“ function for your Sonos system.
Crossfade creates a smooth transition between songs by fading out the last few seconds of the current song, and fading in the next song in the Queue. The icon will be illuminated when crossfade is enabled.
Using the Sonos app for iOS or Android:
On the Now Playing screen, tap the „3 dots“ button to access more options.
Tap the icon next to Crossfade.
Using the Sonos app for Mac or PC:
At the top of the Sonos app, click the crossfade icon.

Sonos empfehlt Folgendes:
- Prüfe die Geschwindigkeit deiner Internetverbindung
Wenn deine Internet-Verbindung erheblich verlangsamt ist, kann Sonos nur mit verringerter Geschwindigkeit von einem Online-Musikdienst streamen, was zu Sprüngen oder anderen Störungen bei der Audiowiedergabe führt. Versuche, Webseiten und Videos zu laden, vorzugsweise von einem kabelgebundenen Computer oder einem Laptop, der sich mit demselben Netzwerk wie Sonos verbindet, um sicherzustellen, dass deine Internetverbindung ordnungsgemäß funktioniert. Wenn du eine ungewöhnlich langsame Internetverbindung feststellst, wende dich an deinen Internetdienstanbieter. - Ergreife Maßnahmen zum Reduzieren der Wireless-Störung
Deine Sonos-Produkte können möglicherweise nicht wireless miteinander oder mit dem Router kommunizieren. Dies kann häufig durch das Ändern des Wireless-Kanals behoben werden, der von deinem Sonos-System verwendet wird. Wireless-Umgebungen können durch viele Geräte überlastet werden, die alle denselben Funkraum verwenden. Durch einen Wechsel des Funkkanals lassen sich diese Probleme beheben. Weitere Informationen zum Ändern des Wireless-Kanals und andere Schritte zum Reduzieren von Funkstörungen findest du in unserem folgenden Artikel: Ändern des Wireless-Kanals. - Sonos kontaktieren
Wenn nach Befolgen der oben genannten Schritte weiterhin Probleme auftreten, findest du weitere Informationen im Abschnitt zum Kundendienst am Ende dieses Artikels.
