Audiimax vs. Legacy Music Systems: A Side-by-Side Comparison

Choosing the right music solution for your business is about more than just filling the air with sound. The right platform can set the mood, improve customer experience, and even boost sales. But many businesses are still stuck with outdated legacy systems — or, worse, using personal streaming platforms like Spotify, which are not licensed for commercial use.

It’s time to compare Audiimax — the modern, ethical business music solution — with the old ways of doing things.

What Are Legacy Music Systems?

Legacy music systems, like Mood Media or generic “background music” services, have been around for decades. They often require expensive contracts, bulky hardware, and complicated setup processes. On top of that, they rely heavily on mainstream music that comes with costly PRS and PPL fees.

These services were designed in an era before smartphones and AI — which means they’re often expensive, outdated, and lack flexibility.

Why Businesses Are Ditching Legacy Systems

Modern businesses want simplicity, affordability, and ethics. Legacy providers often lock you into long contracts with high costs, while Audiimax gives you the flexibility to start or cancel anytime — and at a fraction of the price.

Plus, with Audiimax, you’re not just getting background noise. You’re getting carefully curated playlists that reflect your brand, enhance atmosphere, and support independent musicians.

The Problem with Spotify (and Similar Platforms)

Some businesses try to sidestep legacy systems by using personal streaming platforms like Spotify. But this is illegal for commercial use and can result in fines. It also doesn’t solve the licensing problem — you’ll still need to pay PRS and PPL fees separately if you want to stay compliant.

• No PRS or PPL fees — everything is covered.

• Independent, high-quality playlists that keep your venue fresh and exciting.

• Optional AI audio ads that help you promote offers and increase revenue.
