ASCAP Music Licensing for Businesses
Playing music in your business is a public performance, and federal copyright law requires permission from the songwriters and publishers. ASCAP represents more than 800,000 songwriters, composers and publishers and licenses their music to businesses. Muzicraft helps businesses across Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles counties play music the right way.

Why Muzicraft
Many businesses assume one license covers everything, but each organization licenses only the songs it represents. A BMI license, for example, does not cover ASCAP songs, and ASCAP has sued venues that held one but not the other. Muzicraft helps you understand your options before a letter arrives, then sets up the music and the system that plays it. Read more in Do I Need Licensed Music for Business?
After the install, we stay on as your support team: programming changes, service calls and Muzicraft Care Plans that keep it running. Muzicraft is a licensed contractor with CTS-certified technicians, serving Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles counties since 1952.
