Try the player for yourself

This is the same player a SoundPour venue runs on a laptop or tablet behind the counter. It picks the music itself, shapes it around your trading day, and keeps going if your broadband drops.

Have a go. Press start and it plays, or answer a few questions first and hear it built around your own place.

Two things about this demo. It draws on a small sample, where a subscribing venue draws on the whole library: hundreds of tracks today, with new music added regularly on the way to several thousand. It is built to keep growing, so the room does not end up hearing the same handful of songs. And the audio here is deliberately compressed so the page loads quickly, so it is noticeably lower quality than the music you would actually receive.

What you are listening to

Every track is original music made for background use in British hospitality. It is not a licensed playlist and it is not borrowed from anywhere, which is what makes the arrangement straightforward for the venue playing it.

How the player works

  • It chooses the music. Nobody builds a playlist. You describe the place once and it selects from there.
  • It follows your day. Opening hours and a couple of answers shape how the music changes between opening and closing.
  • Staff can steer it. Calmer, Busier, Skip and Hold sit on the screen, and nothing but Skip interrupts the track that is playing. No music knowledge needed.
  • Words off when the room is talking. One tap on Instrumental only and nothing sung plays, so the music stops competing with conversation over lunch.
  • You can see what is coming. The next few tracks are always on screen with their tempo and energy, so a member of staff can head off a change before it happens rather than reacting to it.
  • An optional DJ voice. A line or two spoken every few tracks, with the music dipping underneath, a little like a radio station. Off unless you want it, and free. More about the DJ voice ↗
  • It keeps playing offline. Music is stored on the device as it plays, so a broadband fault does not leave a room in silence.
  • No app and no hardware. Any laptop, tablet or phone with a browser.

Try the time of day

Once it is playing, use the time buttons under the controls. Jumping from morning to evening shows how the selection moves across a trading day, which is the part that normally takes all day to notice.

Let us get your music right

A few quick questions. There are sensible answers filled in already, so if you are in a hurry you can just press the button at the bottom.

Only used as a quiet label on the playing screen, so staff know the right one is running. It is not shown to your customers and nothing else uses it.

When are you open?

These shape how the music changes through your day rather than switching it on and off. A five hour day and a twelve hour day get the same shape stretched across them, so the quiet end arrives at the right time for you. The music carries on for an hour after you close and then pauses itself, and it will never stop while you are still open, even if these times are a little out.

Every day to
What sort of place is it?

This one does not choose any music by itself. All it does is fill in likely answers to the four questions below, so you can accept them and move on. Change any of them afterwards and this is forgotten.

This just sets the starting point for the questions below. Change any of them afterwards.
How should it feel most of the time?

The single biggest setting. It sets the general level everything else works around, and it leans the choice rather than ruling anything out, so nothing is ever locked away. You can move it up or down at any time from the playing screen with the Calmer and Busier buttons, and the bar underneath them shows how far you have gone.

Does the end of the day feel different from the start?

Works with your opening hours to drift the music gradually across the day, so it settles towards closing or builds towards it. The change is slow and nobody in the room will notice it happening, they will just find the last hour feels different from the first.

When is your busiest part of the day?

The question above drifts the music one way across the whole day. This one puts a lift where your trade actually is, so a cafe that is quiet either side of a busy lunch gets a rise in the middle rather than a slope. It is a gentle nudge, not a gear change, and it only applies while you are open. If your day is fairly even, leave it on no particular time.

Warm or bright?

The tone rather than the pace. Warm leans towards rounded, softer sounds that sit further back in a room. Bright leans towards clearer, more open ones that carry a little more. If you are unsure, leave it on no preference and adjust once you have heard a day of it.

Anything you definitely do not want?

The only setting here that is absolute. Every other answer leans the choice, but anything you tap here will never play, at any time of day, whatever else is going on. Leave it empty unless you feel strongly, because each one you rule out is music the day cannot draw on later.

Tap any you would rather never hear. Everything else stays in.
