My Question or Issue

Can one use Spotify to play music at a funeral if they have both a Funeral Services Music Licence and a Digital Delivery Music license with OneMusic in New Zealand? It is unclear as whether this is allowed when these licenses are in place. Also, given a funeral is not a commercial setting like a restaurant or retail etc, could it be considered "personal/domestic use"?

Hey there @BM123,

Thanks for reaching out.

Keep in mind that Spotify cannot be used in this context even with supplementary licenses, since it is meant to be for personal use and not public/commercial. For events like funerals, you'd need to use music sources that are specifically licensed for public performance. We'd suggest checking out Soundtrack Business. 

Hope this sheds some light on the matter. The Community will be here if anything else comes up.
