Is curating music playlists for your IFE systems time-consuming and posing a legal risk?

Great music content turns a flight into a more enjoyable experience for passengers, so getting your hands on the tracks they like the most is key for airlines while knowing that you’re not infringing any copyrights. 

Tuned Global enables you to: 

reduce-risks

Reduce risk by only having access to the music you’ve legally licensed (labels and publishers), from which you can create tailored playlists.

Streamline regional & territorial reporting

Streamline regional and territorial reporting to labels, publishers and PROs, ensuring accurate compliance and facilitating royalty payments.

Create rights-compliant playlists easily

Content and playlist curators praise our purpose-built CMS as the industry's most intuitive and user-friendly playlisting tool. We host over 150 million tracks from major and indie labels, but you'll only see the ones that are 100% cleared based on your licensing agreements.

Our AI-powered Text-to-Playlist feature lets you simply prompt a theme — like “90s US hip-hop top 100” — and instantly tracks to be added to your playlist, highlighting available tracks and flagging any missing from your current catalogue.

Power search & recommendations

Save hours finding the right tracks. The power search function will help you quickly discover music by what matters most to passengers like genres, moods, decades, bpm, artists, albums and tracks. 
 

Customised tags & export to aircraft

Content and tracks can be classified using customised tags that you create. These tags can be created for specific flights, routes, regions, territories, calendar celebrations, or your specific needs. Tags can also be used to export playlists to your desired flights or regions. 

Content filtering & gating

Our content filtering tools allow your curators to filter content by language, region, genre, and child-friendliness.

Your playlists will always comply with geographical rights and only provide your users with licensed tracks. Additionally, our integration with Crunch Digital, Music Reports, HFA/Rumblefish (SESAC), and Blokur assists with filtering publishing rights.

Playlisting tool

You need access to your licensed catalogue as well as a solution to curate playlists. Our user-friendly Content Management System (CMS) and AI playlist creator are designed to simplify playlist curation. It helps manage playlists based on the rights negotiated per region and territory.

The core strength of our music programming software for airlines lies in its ability to tailor content to specific tastes and audiences by leveraging advanced segmentation and personalisation features.

Catalogue delivery API

If you only need the music assets, our Catalogue Delivery Service (CDS) technology gives you access to your licensed music catalogue as well as the associated assets and metadata within your current system. The catalogue is continuously updated with new music releases and take-downs.

We can provide you with a JSON feed or an API to fetch only the tracks you need to ingest. This efficient cloud-based catalogue management avoids substantial upfront backend investments and ongoing maintenance.

For more information and a demo of our services, get in touch today.

Do you have pre-licensed music I can access?

We have sub-licenses with Universal Music Group and Believe to expedite licensing and facilitate discussion with all majors and independent labels. We also offer fully licensed music solutions for background music and radio-style services (DMCA) in certain regions.

Our music catalogue contains over 150 million songs from major record labels, including Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, Sony Music, Believe and Merlin, as well as numerous independent labels.

We can quickly deliver audio tracks, but you'll need licensing agreements with the rights holders. Talk to us about getting you started on the right foot. 

Can you help me licence the music?

Yes. We assist our clients in navigating the complexities of licensing by helping them understand their requirements and connecting them with the right people, including record labels, publishers, and entertainment lawyers.

Can you generate a report on which music was used?

Yes. We offer reporting on the tracks and playlists that you have programmed and exported. By comparing this data with your business information, such as flights, routes, and frequency, you can generate the reports that rightsholders need to verify the use of their licensed content.

If the music is streamed pre or post-flight in your entertainment app, then Regional Rights and Rights Holder Usage Reporting is required by rights holders. 

In this case, our reporting software RAPPORT allows us to generate reports that meet the rights owners' differing formats and frequency requirements in an industry-approved format, making your life easier.

Can you also report to music publishers and PRO's?

Yes. We can also generate usage reports for publishers and gate content if needed. We are integrated with Music Reports, HFA/Rumblefish (SESAC), Blokur or Crunch Digital for more advanced content gating.
