Press Play Rights, A Whole Lot More
Press Play Rights gives artists and rights-holders a direct path into the Press Play Ecosystem and the freedom to craft their own blanket licensing agreements—solo or alongside fellow creators—all while preserving full compatibility with their current PRO arrangements.
Much More Than a Digital Radio Stream
Press Play Rights is more than a music stream—it’s a dedicated channel for retail and corporate spaces that want to entertain, energize, and engage the people they serve. Through curated playlists, storytelling elements, and optional interactive features, Press Play Rights transforms everyday environments into vibrant, connected experiences. And for musicians, your music is the heart of it all—the heartbeat that brings every space to life.
