Licensing
The public use of recorded music legally requires tenants to have a PPL and PRS licence. Tenants can obtain these licenses at:
PPL (UK) – http://www.ppluk.com
PRS (UK) – https://www.prsformusic.com
BMI (US) - https://www.bmi.com/services
Tenants are fully responsible for obtaining the licenses required for their hold music. essensys will not check if tenants have the correct licences and will not be held accountable for any infringements of licensing regulations.
File Formats
Audio File Requirements: WAV file, the sample rate is 8000Hz and the encoding is unsigned 8-bit PCM.
If your file is not in the required format there are file conversion programs which you can search for on the Internet here.
Considerations
Please note if your tenant uses call answering and a call comes into reception, before it is directed towards a tenant, the default reception hold music will play, not the tenants custom hold music.
