Common questions. Straight answers.
Is the background music licensed for commercial use
Yes. All music in the Hangar.Media background music catalogue is commercially licensed for public performance in business venues. Licensing covers the territories you select during setup. This removes the need for separate performance rights organisation licences for covered tracks.
Can I upload my own music files instead of using the catalogue
Yes. You can upload your own audio files and use them as background music. However, you are responsible for ensuring you hold the appropriate public performance licences for any music you upload. The Audio Files integration is designed for custom audio content.
How does zone-based audio control work
Each Hangar.Media player can be assigned to an audio zone. Players in the same zone play the same playlist at the same volume. Different zones can have completely different playlists and volumes. This is ideal for venues with distinct areas like dining rooms, bars, and patios.
What audio output does the player use for background music
Background music plays through the audio output of your Hangar.Media player device. This can be connected to amplified speakers, a PA system, or any audio equipment via 3.5mm, HDMI, or USB audio output. Volume control is managed both in software and through your audio hardware.
