Switching? We cancel your old music for you
Updated
How it works With our switching service we cancel Buma/Stemra, Sena and your current music service for you, free of charge, when you move to RadioMatic. You give permission with a tick box in the request form and confirm it later with an authorisation.
Only after your trial We only cancel once you have a paid plan and your station is running. So you are never without music.
Switching without the hassle
- Free with every paid plan. With Starter, Professional and Enterprise.
- Try first, then cancel. 14 days free. Only once your station is running and you choose a plan do we cancel.
- We write the letters. To Mijnlicentie with your switch date and our statement, and to your music service with their notice period.
- You keep track. You get a copy of every letter and every confirmation.
From € 29.99 per location per month. The switching service costs nothing extra.
How does it work?
Step 1. Tick “Handle my switch” in the request form and choose your current music service. You get a confirmation by email.
Step 2. You try RadioMatic free for 14 days. During that time we cancel nothing. Your old music just carries on.
Step 3. Once you choose a paid plan and your station is running, we send you an authorisation. After your OK we send the cancellations, and we forward the confirmations to you.
What do we do, and what do you do?
We write and send the cancellation to Mijnlicentie, which handles the Buma/Stemra and Sena licences. The letter states the date you switched and a statement from RadioMatic that our music is made entirely with AI. The reasoning is in our memorandum. Your music service gets a cancellation too, with their notice period.
You sign the authorisation, or reply “Agreed” to our email. If you have your customer numbers to hand, you pass them on to us. From your switch date you only play RadioMatic. That matters, because Buma/Stemra and Sena only accept a cancellation if you really stop playing music made by people.
What if my music service has a long notice period?
Then that subscription runs until the end of that period. How long that is differs per service and per contract. We cancel as early as possible and tell you in advance when it ends.
Work out what you save
Three questions, and you see what you now spend on Buma/Stemra, Sena and your music service.
What kind of business do you have?
Why we do this for free
For many business owners, cancelling is the reason they stay where they are. A letter to Mijnlicentie, looking up a notice period, finding a customer number. We take that off your hands. Then all you have to decide is whether RadioMatic suits your business.
Read the legal reasoningWhy RadioMatic is something other than a playlist or the radio
A business owner who wants music on the premises usually picks from three things. A playlist from a streaming service, an ordinary radio station, or a royalty-free music package. This is where they differ.
| Playlist | Ordinary radio | Royalty-free | RadioMatic | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New music | Fixed list | Yes, but not your choice | Limited catalogue | New every day |
| Music that is yours alone | No | No | No | Yes, your own hits |
| Fits the time of day | Switch it yourself | No | Switch it yourself | Automatic |
| Names your business | No | No | No | Yes |
| Your own offers | No | Only if you buy advertising | No | Yes, with Professional, no studio |
| Local news and weather | No | Yes, the station’s | No | Yes, with Professional, your town |
| Other people’s adverts | No | Yes | No | No |
| Several locations | Set up per location | No | Set up per location | Yes, from one place, each with its own mood |
| Buma/Stemra and Sena | Payable | Payable | See the terms | Not payable |
