- 25+ yrs in commercial audio
Trusted at sea and on the high street, from 60-zone cruise ships to single-room salons, in venues across the UK and worldwide.
Why Rosi
Not another streaming subscription
Consumer apps shuffle songs. We programme your business's sound the way radio professionals programme a station, then engineer it to survive the real world.
Properly licensed
Every track cleared for commercial use, with full play-out logs for PPL PRS reconciliation, plus royalty-free catalogues where the tariffs don't fit.
Offline by design
Music plays from local storage and updates itself overnight in megabytes, not gigabytes. Broadband failures never reach your customers' ears.
For your business
Built for the room it plays in
A gym at 6pm and a spa at 6pm need opposite things. Every deployment starts with your space, your customers and your hours.

The platformExplore the platform →
One system from the plant room to the app
Rosi runs as a service on standard Windows or Linux hardware, so there's no proprietary appliance and no rip-and-replace. Zones are scheduled from a web dashboard, controlled from iOS and Android apps with per-user permissions, and monitored centrally so we usually know about a problem before you do.
LUFS-aware level control keeps decades of recordings at one comfortable loudness. GPS and weather rules adjust programming automatically. Integrated digital signage runs from the same scheduler as the sound.

The legal bitLicensing questions, answered →
"Can't we just put Spotify on?"
No, and it catches businesses out every year. Consumer streaming services prohibit commercial use in their terms, and playing music in a business is a public performance that needs TheMusicLicence (PRS for Music + PPL). That applies even to a radio in the corner.
Everything we deliver is cleared for commercial use and logged for licence reconciliation. Prefer to avoid tariffs entirely? Our royalty-free catalogues cover chill-out, ambient, classical and more.
Is background music from a streaming app legal in my business?
No. Consumer services like Spotify and Apple Music prohibit commercial use, and UK premises playing music publicly need TheMusicLicence (PRS for Music + PPL). A business music service like Rosi supplies music that's actually cleared for your venue.
What happens when the internet goes down?
Nothing your customers notice. Music plays from local storage on the player in your venue; the connection is only used for overnight updates and reporting.
How much does business background music cost?
From £34.99 per zone per month on a 24-month term, with hardware to buy or rent. Multi-site and cruise deployments are priced to the estate. Request a quote.
Can you match music to our brand?
That's the whole service. Curators build your programme around your customers, your space and your trading day, then refine it with you after launch.
