It's really a bad company. The customer service is awful. Never fix any issues. You make a Playlist for your business and only a handful of songs play. The sonos integration is very limited. No... See more

Creating playlist for Holiday was never been easier. Please add more theme for different time; morning, afternoon, evening and night. Different genre will be better; Pop, Rock, jazz, etc. More option... See more

OK- if you're big (or rich)

OK, but already cripplingly expensive for smaller users - and the unnecessary restrictions (such as "cannot play an album in order") is really quite frustrating when that functionality is absolutely easy to enable.
PLEASE consider that your smaller clients are important and shouldn't be penalised cost-wise with the same-size-fits-all product which is afforable for larger businesses.

Hi there,

Thanks for leaving a review, we appreciate it!

We strive to offer the best and easiest way for businesses to access as much music as possible in an affordable way. In commercial music, a lot revolves around licensing, and it's unfortunately not as easy as enabling a feature. Although that would be great!

Instead, we offer two subscription plans; Soundtrack Essential and Soundtrack Unlimited, and let our customers choose what level of licensing they want to pay for. With Unlimited, you get full control over the music, while Essential is more similar to a radio feature where you select stations based on what type of music you want to play in your business.

With that said, our service is a constant work in progress and we will of course take your feedback on board.

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS SERVICE

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT sign up for their (soundtrackyourbrand) “free trial”. They will continue to charge you for months even when you cancel. I cancelled the same day I signed up for the “free trial” because I was made aware that this service cannot be used with online stores and discovered there were also other licensing issues. This deceitful company never cancelled the membership and then continued to charge me FOR MONTHS even after I repeatedly demanded they stop. I called the number on the front page of soundtrack’s website and was told by the guy that answered that the number was actually to an audio company located in the US (Dynamic Media) that only ‘offers’ the “free trial” and sells the service, but was not actually the provider of the service. The provider of the service is in Sweden and you cannot contact them directly. You can however chat with them online through their website, which is apparently just nonsensical computerized responses and email, which is also comical. Keep in mind, this trial period that I signed up for and immediately cancelled, was from December of 2020. Also, the phone number for Dynamic Media that was provided on the website at the time I called to resolve this matter has since been removed. The guy at Dynamic Media acted like he didn’t know their number was right there on the front page of soundtrack’s website but probably got sick of getting phone calls and bad reviews for working with this company and removed it. Additionally, after I told Vince at Dynamic Media that I gave them a one star google review over the matter, the tone changed and I was assured that someone would be contacting me from Soundtrack to resolve the issue. I immediately changed my one star review to 5 stars for his effort and left a good review for Vince and thanked him for his time, however I have not received any communications, so we’re back to one star.

I have included the last response from the company after months of back and forth. I am seeking legal advice, working the the Attorney General in my state and will seek to recover the months of charges illegally made to my account plus punitive damages for fraud. I am also looking into a class action lawsuit and will be contacting anyone who wrote a review about these same concerns.

Hi again Brian,
Thank you for getting back in touch and for your patience during this time.
I understand, and we are very sorry to hear that you feel this way. I have since cancelled the subscription for you, which will end at the current billing period (April 5) to ensure that there would be no new subscription renewals or charges to the account.
This is our policy as mentioned in our Terms & Conditions, and are accepted when signing up for an account with us. Again, we really apologise for any inconvenience caused and would be happy to help further if you have any additional feedback or queries for us.

Google soundtrackyourbrand and read the reviews and you will see a pattern of complaints regarding deceptive business practices exactly like what happened to me. It should be illegal to offer a “free trial” and require a credit card to do so. In fact, I may just lobby for that to be the law. This is not the first time a company has done this to me, and I guarantee it’s happening all over the world. It should be a free trial, AND THEN, if you want the service, you provide a payment method. Just another scam. Avoid it at all costs or enjoy the relentless and time consuming process of getting compensated. PS I am truly relentless. I will not go away. I will not give up. I will pursue this on principle alone until the day I drop dead. Just do the right thing and refund my money.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for leaving a review. We're very sorry to hear that you've had a negative experience with our service so far.

Adding credit card details is common practice when signing up for a subscription service, however, we've recently launched an option where you can try out the service without adding any payment details upfront.

We're happy that we've already managed to resolve this issue with you via email. Feel free to reach out to us again if there's anything else we can help you with.

Have a great day ahead.

Great Solution!

Great Service if you need to be hocked up with Music in few mins. Easy to setup and scheduling feature is very handy. If you don't know anything about creating a play list, the AI choices are super and you'll get the ambience you want in few clicks.
One thing you have to have ready is your credit card first, then you are all set.

Functional, but still flawed

Overall the most functional and varied service we've found, but there are a couple of things that drive us all nuts about it at the store.

The latest update where you import soundtracks from Spotify to Soundtrack (a great concept,) is crippleware. You used to be able to edit out individual songs and get a replacement until you got the playlist they way you wanted it. Now you can't. You can only reshuffle the entire list, which doesn't necessarily improve it.

Also, it used to list the songs from your imported playlist first, so you could see how much of it was imported. Now you can't. We'd been having fun with it up to that point, as employees would work on playlists and then we'd link them and see what we got. It doesn't work that way anymore, and everyone is disappointed.

Being able to ban individual songs that you don't like is good, but it would be fantastic to be able to ban artists as well- there are definitely a few that get us complaints whenever they pop up, and no matter how many individual songs we ban, the same artists keep appearing in playlists.

Their Christmas music selection absolutely sucks, regardless of whether you want traditional carols or classic pop hits. If you're a retailer that goes over to Christmas music in November/December, you'll get sick of it real fast. (Our customers didn't like it either- we had quite a few complaints.)

On the whole it's the most decent service we've tried, but their adjustments over the past few years have been a mixed bag. Some new features are great, and some are a major step back. There are occasional weird quirks (for instance, we got movie soundtracks when we tried to make a pop rock playlist,) and support has ranged from nonexistent to polite without result to downright rude. They have gotten a number of new artists recently, for instance, it was nice to see Sting pop up this year, but we're still waiting on some other artists, like Neil Diamond. (We're not holding our breath for The Beatles!)

Hi Kate,

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We truly appreciate it.

We currently offer two subscription plans: Soundtrack Essential and Soundtrack Unlimited. Based on your feedback, we'd recommend trying out Soundtrack Unlimited where you have full control over the music and can create your own playlists from scratch, remove or block songs, and play music in linear (or shuffled) order. For example, this would allow you to create Christmas playlists in Spotify and import them to Soundtrack just as they are. You would also be able to search for and add individual songs directly in Soundtrack.

Please know that all of your comments will be used to improve our product, and hopefully, we can deliver an even better experience over time.

Thanks again!

We explored many options for the…

We explored many options for the in-store music in our grocery store, and had used several others in the previous years. We switched to Soundtrack in late 2020 and it has been a fantastic choice. They offer a wide variety of pre-made channels, and the ability to add our own Spotify playlists has been a huge help. The scheduling option works well and allows us to customize the music for various times of day, days of the week, and seasons. We were able to have a mix of Christmas and regular music throughout the holidays rather than Christmas music 24/7, which our staff and customers all appreciated. We wholeheartedly recommend Soundtrack for your business.

The positives are the scheduling functions.
The music selection is a challenge. The music is to unfamiliar so I have to import playlists.
There is a serious issue with the explicit filter not working for songs (A lot of songs) There are other songs that get skipped as explicit that are not.
Quote from my staff
"what's my name" by snoop was playing, with the choice lyrics of "what's my MFing name?"
Needs an android compatible remote app. I want my staff to be able to skip songs without having to step away into our office where the player is.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

We apologize for any explicit songs being played in your location. I would be happy to have a look at your account to make sure that everything is in order, and to look through your track history for any mislabeled explicit or non-explicit songs. Feel free to email us at support@soundtrackyourbrand.com with your account name and email address when you get a chance.

I will forward your feedback regarding the music selection and implementing an Android Remote app. Keep in mind that you can always control the music remotely through a web browser at business.soundtrackyourbrand.com. While you can't limit user access to the extent that you can with the Remote app, you can limit features such as access to invoices and adding/removing zones.

Thanks again and have a great day ahead.

Best music service by FAR

SoundTrack has been the best music service that we have implemented in our store by far. All of the playlists with the perfect moods make it so easy to keep the atmosphere in our store happy, welcoming, and trendy! I will definitely be recommending SoundTrack to other business managers!
