Two solutions: streaming music or locally playing music
If you want to play In-Store music in stores, restaurants, gyms etcetera we can provide you with 2 solutions:
1. Streaming music
With our In-store software solution, it is easy to setup streaming music system. All you need is our back-office module, combined with our multi-player and an (external) streaming platform. The playlists can be managed with the back-office and the streams will be played with our multi-players.
2. Locally playing music
If you want to avoid hick-ups because of unstable Internet connections, you can use our lightweight player which needs to be placed in your customers premises. The player will download the playlist and the music files, so ther always will be music, even if there is no internet for a couple of hours. The customer has to install this simple player which runs on every platform (Windows, Apple, Linux, Android).
Elements of the software
The In-Store software suite consists of 4 pieces of software:
The Back-Office
The Back-office software is the place where you store all the music and where you create and manage the playlists for the players.
The back-office has different modules:
- A library to store all your music and categories.
- A Planner to schedule your playlist. Planning can be done manual or completely automatic.
- A Planning Rules module to design all the rules that will be used by the Planner to make perfect playlists for all your clients.
The Library
The Planning Rules
The Planning Rules module is the tool to make the rules and templates for all your playlists or clients. The many automated features and the user-friendly layout makes this it easy to make rules and templates for different clients.
The Planner
Easy schedule playlist for all clients, regardless if they have one player or hundreds. Playlist can be made manually for a maximum of hundred days ahead, but is is also possible to have the playlists scheduled automatically.
Automatic synchronisation
The playlists are automatically synchronized with the players. This is a fully automatic process, no manual interaction is required. Changes in a playlist are automatically pushed to the player in a few minutes.
The Dashboard
The Dashboard is the web-based tool for managing the players.
The Dashboard provides the following functions:
- Keeps track if players are online or offline
- Activate players remotely
- Block players remotely, so they cannot be used by the clients anymore
- Update players with the latest software
The Player
The player is the piece of software that will be installed on a computer of your clients. This software plays the music.
The player can be installed on any computer that runs Windows 10 or 11 or Linux.
Local storage of music
The music is stored locally so you can guarantee an uninterrupted music experience. All music will be downloaded automatically by the OnAir Store player. Since the download process is ‘on demand’ items will always be available on the player, even if the playlist has last-minute changes or new items are added to music categories No manual interaction is required for the download process.
Mode
The player can be operated in either Automatic or Manual mode.
Automatic mode
In Automatic mode the player cannot be managed locally: The personel in the store is not able to control the player manually. As soon as the player is started, it will start to play the pre-defined playlist and no further manual interaction is needed nor allowed.
Manual mode
In manual mode the personnel at the shop can either choose from a set of predefined channels or make their own playlist by choosing music form categories. The player can be Paused, Stopped and items can be skipped.
The Multi-player for streaming
The Multi-player takes care of the streams. If you have multiple channels or streams, every channel or streams needs it own player. Our Multi-player can handle multiple streams and you can install as many players as you want on a single computer.
