## What this is

Venue Hi-Fi Player is a royalty-free music player for cafés, bars, restaurants, shops
and small offices. It plays royalty-free / public-domain / Creative Commons radio
streams, Jamendo tracks and local files, and improves how they sound with a
studio-grade expander, harmonic exciter, AutoEQ and limiter that run entirely in
the browser (Web Audio API + AudioWorklet).

There is no account, no server-side storage, no cookie and no tracking. The site
is ad-supported and free of charge: a venue that plays only royalty-free music
pays $0 for the music and only sees anonymous, cookie-free ads on the page.

## Licensing facts (informational, not legal advice)

- Music played in a business normally needs a public-performance licence from the
  local collecting society, and that licence costs a small venue roughly
  US$100–800 per month (US$1,200–9,600 per year).
- Royalty-free, public-domain (CC0) and Creative Commons stations carry no
  rights-holder fees for that music, so a venue using only those sources pays
  nothing to the collecting society for that music.
- Some countries still require a licence even for royalty-free music. The guide
  names the collecting society that applies in each market so it can be checked.
- This is informational content, not legal advice.

## Frequently asked questions

Q: Is royalty-free radio really free for a business?
A: For that music, yes — royalty-free, public-domain and Creative Commons tracks
carry no rights-holder fees, so no collecting-society payment is due for them.
Verify the licence of every stream you play and check your local rules.

Q: Do I still need a licence for royalty-free music?
A: In some countries, yes. The guide names the collecting society for each market
so you can confirm. It is informational content, not legal advice.

Q: How much can a venue save?
A: A small venue typically pays US$1,200–9,600 per year in music-licensing fees.
Playing only royalty-free sources removes that fee for the music used. The ROI
calculator at https://highfidelitypurebusiness.eu/b2b/ shows the number in local currency.

Q: What does the app do with my data?
A: Nothing leaves the browser. There is no account, no cookie and no tracking;
settings and presets stay in localStorage. See https://highfidelitypurebusiness.eu/privacy/.

Q: How is this different from Spotify or Apple Music for business?
A: It plays the free radio streams that broadcasters already publish instead of a
licensed catalogue, so there is no per-venue subscription. Background noise,
announcements and ads are excluded where the stream allows it.

Q: How does the site make money?
A: Anonymous, cookie-free advertising (A-ads unit 2457538). Listening to
royalty-free radio costs the venue nothing.
