We also have a Digital Signage Builder. Users can create screens made up of multiple scenes and components, including royalty-free videos and images. The screens can be displayed instantly in our app (for example, on an Android TV box) or opened directly in any web browser. Integrations also supported.
The legal music angle is genuinely useful, I can already see this fitting into a couple of projects. One thing that would push it over the edge for me is a proper scheduling layer, like being able to set different stream lineups for morning versus evening, or weekday versus weekend, so the vibe actually shifts with the room instead of looping the same block for eight hours straight.

@penelope_fan We already support this. 😊
Every stream has a built-in weekly scheduler with configurable time slots, so you can assign different playlists or jingle playlists for different times of the day and different days of the week.
For example, you can play calm acoustic music in the morning, upbeat tracks during lunch, and lounge music in the evening-all automatically.

@penelope_fan Also you can change master volume per time slot

The multi-location controls and automatic failover look practical for venues. Can managers set different schedules, announcements, and content rules per location while still controlling everything from one dashboard?
Tunio
@adityaharish2002 Yes! We also have a built-in role-based access system. Each location can be configured independently with its own schedule and settings. At the same time, all locations share the same library of playlists, jingles, and announcements, making it easy to maintain consistent branding while managing everything from a single dashboard.

Integrating with POS systems is a really smart move for retail and hospitality. Does this integration allow the music tempo or announcements to react dynamically to real-time data, like peak foot traffic or sales volume?
Tunio
@aren_barseghyan Yes. Right now, we offer two strategies that users can choose from after connecting a POS integration:
Retain Guests - During quiet hours, the music tempo is reduced by 15% and the volume is slightly lowered. This encourages guests to stay longer and often leads to higher spending.
Increase Turnover - During peak hours, the tempo increases by 20% and the volume is raised slightly, encouraging guests to finish sooner and free up tables more quickly.
Announcements aren’t tied to the POS integration yet, but it’s on our roadmap. I plan to introduce follow-up announcements that can be triggered by business metrics - for example, if sales in a particular category are lower than they were at the same time yesterday.
the copyright-headache-free always-on part is the real unlock. when it drops to offline cached music, do the ai jingles and announcements still fire?
Tunio
@andrewzakonov At the moment, when the player switches to failover mode, it only plays cached music. AI-generated jingles and announcements are not available in failover mode in the current implementation. As soon as the application detects that the internet connection is stable again, it automatically switches playback back from the cached music to the real-time stream.
I also forgot to mention that we have a built-in digital signage designer. The app can also be used to display those screens, which is especially convenient when installed on an Android TV box or TV device.

the copyright-headache-free framing is the pitch that actually matters for a bar or café owner. question on that specifically - does the licensing you've secured cover public performance rights so a venue is fully covered playing it out loud to customers, or is there still a separate ASCAP/BMI/SESAC type license the business needs on top of what you provide? that distinction is where a lot of venues get burned without realizing it

@galdayan All music in the Tunio catalog is AI-generated and licensed directly by Tunio. The catalog includes both instrumental tracks and songs with vocals in multiple languages.
Before being added to the catalog, every track is carefully reviewed and moderated. We also process the audio to improve its overall quality, remove unwanted hiss, noise, artifacts, and other generation defects, and ensure that it is suitable for continuous playback in commercial spaces.
Public performance rights for the Tunio catalog are included with an active subscription. No additional ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR, or similar performing rights organization license is required specifically for music played through Tunio, provided that the venue does not play music from other sources that may require separate licensing.

@mike_kabanov that's the clean answer, thanks. the "subscription covers PRO rights, just don't mix in outside sources" caveat is the kind of detail that actually matters in practice - most venues don't realize their own playlist habits are what void that coverage, not the platform itself
Dial
the POS-linked tempo strategies are clever, but the "increase turnover" one is basically nudging customers out the door faster for the business's benefit, not theirs - speeding up the room at peak hours to free tables sooner. curious if that's been tested for any backlash, since people who clock that a place is subtly playing them out tend to remember it, even if they can't quite name why they didn't linger.
Tunio
@omri_ben_shoham1 Yes, we’ve tested it with one of our customers. This strategy definitely isn’t suitable for every type of business. It’s mainly designed for high-turnover food service chains, where, during peak hours, the goal is to gently encourage guests who have already finished their meal not to occupy tables longer than necessary.
That said, I completely agree with you - it needs to be used carefully and only in the right context.
