Legal — and provable
A named certificate with QR verification, a memo for your staff and an append-only playback log. Ready to show whoever asks about the music.
See a certificate sample →Simple at any scale
From sign-up to music in five minutes. Every location gets its own link — staff just open it, and the player keeps playing if the internet drops.
How it works →Our own catalog, refreshed every quarter
Where the music comes from — and why no society has a claim on it.
Composed in-house
Our composers create tracks with neural instruments under the service's creative direction — every track is made for Oktava and enters no society's register.
Archived and tagged
Every track lands in the archive with genre, mood and tempo — that is what keeps each channel coherent.
Curated into channels
Editors assemble channels for calm mornings, busy afternoons and lively evenings. Pick one per location or set a schedule.
30% new every quarter
Channels are refreshed so regulars don't hear the same rotation month after month.
Music, paperwork included
Start with why it's legal. After that it's mostly pressing play.
Documents are the point, not an afterthought
Every account comes with three documents to show if anyone ever asks about the music:
QR-verifiable
Named certificate
Issued to your legal entity, with a number, validity dates and a QR code that leads to a public verification page.

Staff memo
One page that tells your team what to say when someone asks about the music in the room.
Playback log
An append-only record of every track played at your location — exportable whenever you need it.

Questions owners actually ask
Is it really legal to play Oktava without paying the societies?
Yes — for our catalog. Collecting societies can only charge for works from their repertoire. The Oktava catalog is original music we create ourselves, and it is not registered with any society — authors' or neighbouring-rights. Radio, Spotify or your own playlists are a different case: those do require a license.
Is this AI-generated music?
Yes — made with AI tools under the service's creative direction and registered with no collecting society. We're happy to walk you through how it's made: see “How our catalog is made”. The legal position doesn't depend on hiding anything — it depends on the catalog staying outside society repertoires, which is exactly what the certificate documents.
I got a letter from a collecting society. What do I do?
Reply that your location plays the Oktava catalog, and attach the certificate plus a playback log export. A ready reply template is in the dashboard. Societies can only claim payment for their repertoire — your documents show it isn't being played.
Why can't I just play Spotify?
Consumer streaming covers personal listening, not playback in a business. Playing Spotify at a location still requires society licenses — and Spotify's own terms forbid commercial use.
Can I play well-known hits through Oktava?
No. The player only plays Oktava's own catalog — that is exactly what keeps it outside society repertoires and makes the certificate possible. If your concept depends on chart hits or a specific artist, you need society licenses, and Oktava isn't the right fit.
What if the internet goes down?
The player caches its channel ahead of time and keeps playing offline. Playback events queue locally and sync when the connection returns — the log stays complete.
I have several locations.
Each location gets its own player link and its own line in the subscription. Pricing is per location; excluding a location reduces the next charge automatically.
Can I cancel?
Anytime, from the dashboard. The subscription runs to the end of the paid period; after that the certificate is marked inactive on its public verification page.
Which countries does Oktava work in?
Oktava is sold in 20 countries — the certificate and country documents are issued for yours, and prices are set per country. Italy isn't supported, Denmark and Finland aren't available yet. The full list is at the bottom of this page.
An Entandem representative visited my business. What do I show them?
The certificate and a playback log export — both are in your dashboard, and the certificate's QR code leads to a live verification page. Entandem licenses SOCAN and Re:Sound repertoire; your documents show that what's playing isn't in it. If you get a letter, forward it to us — we'll answer on the record.
