The problem
Retail Store Music
Problem
Store playlists loop and wear thin
A fixed playlist repeats every few hours, and staff who work the same shift every day hear it constantly. Shoppers who visit weekly notice too. The store sounds stale, and nobody has time to rebuild the playlist.
With Mubert
Mubert streams realtime generative music from 150+ moods and themes, so the store never plays the same loop twice. Your app can change the intensity during the stream, for example calmer in the morning, livelier at peak hours.
Problem
Licensing paperwork for every location
Playing commercial music in a shop means sorting out who owns what, per location and per track. Chains with many stores end up with scattered agreements, and one wrong assumption can mean a claim or a pulled playlist.
With Mubert
Your backend creates a customer for each store, with its own customer-id and access-token, and that store's usage counts against your license. Check the plan table on the pricing page for sub-licensing terms.
Problem
Music that doesn't fit the moment
A shop has a morning lull, a lunch rush and a closing hour, yet stock playlists play one flat mood all day. Managers skip tracks by hand, or give up and let a mismatched song run during a busy sale.
With Mubert
Pick tracks from the library of about 12,000 by genre, mood, activity or BPM, or stream live and shift the intensity while it plays. Like and dislike feedback can tune the music to each store.

Retail Store Music
How it fits your product
Store music sits behind conversation, register beeps and announcements, so keep the energy moderate and the tempo mid-range, roughly 95 to 110 BPM. Acoustic guitar, soft percussion and light keys work well because they leave room for voices. Avoid heavy bass and sharp vocals that compete with staff. Shops run all day, so loops or long tracks matter more than short clips.
For a store, use stream mode so the music runs continuously without repeating a single file. Your backend starts the stream when the store opens, and you can raise or lower intensity as foot traffic changes during the day. For per-location control, create a customer for each store and give its player that customer-id and access-token, so usage counts against your license.

FAQ
Retail Store Music
What kind of music works best in a retail store?
Mid-tempo, low-intrusion music usually fits best, since it sits under conversation and announcements. Mubert generates tracks and streams by genre, mood and BPM, so you can match the sound to your shop type, from relaxed acoustic to brighter electronic, and adjust intensity while a stream plays.
Can I play different music in each of my store locations?
Yes. Your backend creates a customer for each location, which returns a customer-id and access-token. Each store's player uses its own credentials, and all usage counts against your license. Not every plan includes sub-licensing, so check the plan table on the pricing page.
