Background music will “hold” your customers while they’re in your facility and grow your business with music that will resonate with your client base. Music changes the way people feel, it keeps them in the store longer, and it invites them to return. Furthermore, careful use of voice interspersed with music creates advertising and selling opportunities that directly impact the bottom line. Our overhead music solution starts at $25 per month for Indie music, and $39 per month for Major Label and our Free Trial lets you use the system without making a commitment.

Overhead Music Frequently Asked Questions
What differentiates Holdcom's ambient music solution?
Holdcom’s partnership with UMix stands out in three main areas. First is our Philosophy. We believe 100% in the self-directed consumer. We’re not about telling you what you should have. We’re about helping you get what you want. Our role is to give you the best toolset on the planet to make that happen. Second is Technology. We offer no satellite service; we do not mail CD’s; you don’t even need to purchase hardware! Our Internet-based software gives you a combination of control and ease-of-use you won’t believe. The third is Approach. No long-term agreements. No gimmicks. No nickel and dime add-ons. Just a great product at a fair price!
How does the Holdcom solution deliver ROI?
There are a number of ways that the HOLDCOM solution pays for itself. First and foremost, it enhances the shopping experience: customers will enjoy being in your store, and they will spend more time shopping. Your customers become a captive audience, exposed to your advertising and promotional messages delivered to them at scheduled intervals. This creates buying incentives.
Can you help me make playlists?
Yes we do. Music programming expertise is on stand-by to help you when needed.
Why do you offer a Free Trial?
There are two primary reasons. First, we’re aware of no one in our industry who offers a completely Free Trial, so it helps set us apart. Second, we’re very confident that if you give us a try you’ll like what you see and hear.
How does the free music trial work?
You download and install our Player App on your Windows PC. Then you’ll register for an online account. No credit card info is needed.
Are the music royalties included with my subscription?
Yes. Our solution maintains strict compliance with U.S. copyright law. Royalties are included for the purpose of ambient music and telephone on-hold music. We offer ALL Major Labels and thousand of songs by Independent Label Artists.
Do I need special hardware?
No. Our App runs on Windows. If you decide you want the player as a separate piece of hardware we have that available. The current price is $299.
Can music play more than one zone at a time?
Yes. The App is capable of creating two completely distinct audio zones – with music and/or messages on each zone.
Can my employees change the music while I'm gone?
No. Only the Account owner [with secure ID and PW] can make updates.
Do you require a ''programming request'' to change music?
No way! Using your on-line account, you are in 100% control 24/7/365 of all music and message playback. We’re here if you need advice or help.
How fast can I hear my updates?
You can hear your programming changes [e.g. changing music, adding new messages] automatically in less than one hour!
Do I need an audio system?
Yes. We provide music content that plugs into your music amplifier or stereo receiver using a standard RCA connection.
Can I use a ''home stereo'' amplifier or receiver to play UMix in my business?
Yes. The output from our solution is in mono format. Just let us know you’re using stereo when you order and we’ll include a free signal-splitter to provide content for both stereo channels.
Do you install audio systems?
We use a network of Independent Audio Installers across the United States to help you with audio system installation.
Does you handle larger, multilocation system roll-outs?
Yes. No matter what the size of your business, we have a solution for you.
Do you require an Agreement?
Yes. A three month subscription to our Business Music Service is required. All music is provided using underlying agreements to maintain compliance with U.S. copyright law. Our agreement is your verification to the Performance Rights Organizations [ASCAP and BMI]. We believe this is the shortest agreement term in the industry. Your complete satisfaction is our goal.
