the licensing difference
Why You Cannot Simply Upload a Hit Recording
Buying or streaming a song through a consumer music service does not ordinarily give a business permission to copy that recording and upload it to a telephone platform.
Phone systems commonly use uploaded audio files for hold or queue music. Creating and using that file requires rights beyond an ordinary personal purchase or subscription.
Cover Tunes solves that problem by providing an approved cover recording with the necessary license for the intended phone-system application.

A Better Experience for Callers Facing a Long Wait
A global travel company wanted to make waits of up to 30 minutes more enjoyable by playing well-known songs connected with destinations and travel. Its phone platform could not accept a licensed live music stream, and uploading commercial recordings would not provide the necessary usage rights.
Easy On Hold created a custom Cover Tunes package containing the familiar songs the company wanted in file formats compatible with its platform.
Caller waits lasting as long as 30 minutes.
Licensed familiar songs connected with travel and destinations.
A more distinctive, energetic and memorable caller experience.
When the Song Becomes Part of the Message
The right song can do more than entertain callers. A familiar title can create a clever connection with your company, reinforce what you do and make the caller experience more memorable.
