Playlists
Your folders become playlists.
Connect the Google Drive or Dropbox folders your company already keeps, and they become playlists in every store. You can add your own music locally on the device too.
In-store music for shops and retail chains
Your brand’s music in every room of every store.
Runs from one iPhone or iPad per store and plays on Sonos, AirPlay 2 and the speakers you already have.
Schedules & opening hours
The week plays itself.
Calm in the morning, livelier in the afternoon, quieter towards closing. Set the week once around your opening hours, with holidays on top.
Channels & zones
Up to five channels from one iPhone or iPad.
With Business, the device at the counter streams up to five channels at once, each to its own zone. Pro includes one channel.
Three ways to play
However your store is wired.
Pick one per zone, or mix them.
- Straight from the deviceOver AirPlay 2, or with a cable to an amplifier or active speakers.
- Over the store Wi-FiA local stream to Sonos and other stream players.
- From the internetYour company’s own internet radio, with automatic fallback to local music.
Every room its own sound
Out to the speakers you already have.
The iPad at the counter sends each channel to its zone, with the speakers in a zone grouped to play as one. The music lives on the device, so it keeps playing when the internet drops.
Head office
Every store, from one portal.
Head office sets the music up centrally and publishes once; each store picks up the change at its next sync.
- Music, internet radio and schedules, shared centrallyCompany playlists and internet radio stations, pushed to every store, with the schedules that play them.
- Lock or open, per companyCentral policies decide what stores may change: local music, a personal cloud, local schedules, channel editing, and a maximum or locked volume.
- Stores, devices and billingEvery device with its status and last sync, and billing for the whole chain.
Three short walks through the real portal, one thing each.

The two prices are not like for like: LVSTR Pro is the App Store price including VAT, LVSTR for Business is invoiced per device excluding VAT. LVSTR Store Music is the platform and the player. It does not include rights to music or streams; the licenses for what you play are yours. The questions below explain how that works.
Questions
The short answers.
What happens if a store loses internet?
Playback continues on downloaded playlists and schedules. Streams automatically fall back to local music.
Can stores add their own music?
Only if you allow it — it’s a central setting with per-store exceptions.
What hardware do we need?
Any iPhone or iPad on iOS or iPadOS 27 or later, and speakers. Most customers use a dedicated iPhone or iPad per store.
Which speakers work with zones?
Sonos speakers, and any player that can play a stream URL. Each channel is an ordinary web radio stream (AAC over HTTP) on the store network. The hub, an iPhone or iPad, finds the Sonos rooms on the network and you tick the rooms each channel should play in; several rooms on one channel play as one group. For any other player, such as a network amplifier or VLC on a computer, the app shows the channel’s address with a QR code.
Can we play without Sonos or zones?
Yes. The iPhone or iPad plays straight to your speakers: over AirPlay 2 to AirPlay speakers, an Apple TV or a receiver, or with a cable from its headphone, USB-C or Lightning port to an amplifier or active speakers.
Do I need new hardware for zones?
No. One iPhone or iPad per store acts as the hub, on its charger and ideally on Ethernet, and it plays on the speakers you already have.
Does it need internet?
Only to sync. Local channels travel over the store’s own network from the iPhone or iPad to the speakers. The internet brings new music and schedule changes, and the music keeps playing while it is down. Internet radio needs the internet, and falls back to a local playlist when the stream drops.
Do zones cost extra?
No. LVSTR Pro includes one channel. LVSTR for Business includes up to five channels per device, on every price tier.
What is the difference between LVSTR Pro and LVSTR for Business?
LVSTR Pro is for a single store: bought in the App Store for 249 SEK a month including VAT, cancel anytime, with one channel and all playlists, schedules and cloud folders. LVSTR for Business is invoiced per device and month, excluding VAT, with up to five channels per device, the portal, central schedules and policies, roll-out with device management (MDM) and internet radio.
How long does setup take?
A chain of 40 stores is typically live within a week: we configure the portal, you mail each store its activation sheet.
Who handles music licensing?
You do, as the store operator. LVSTR Store Music is the platform and player — it does not include or grant any rights to music, recordings or streams, and we don’t review the content you play. Playing recorded music in public normally needs a license for the composition (songwriters and publishers) and one for the recording (artists and labels), usually from one or two collecting societies per country. Royalty-free or direct-licensed music needs no society license. Internet radio streams belong to their providers — check that their terms allow business use. Consumer Spotify or Apple Music accounts may not be used in stores. Each channel or zone you broadcast is a public performance in that area of the store, and you are responsible for the licenses it requires.
Which organizations license music in my country?
The principle is the same almost everywhere; the organizations differ. Some examples:
| Sweden | STIM + SAMI |
|---|---|
| Norway | TONO + Gramo |
| Denmark | Koda + Gramex |
| Finland | Teosto + Gramex |
| United Kingdom | PPL PRS (TheMusicLicence) |
| Germany | GEMA (also collects for GVL) |
| France | SACEM (also collects for SPRE) |
| United States | ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR — for the composition; recordings generally need no separate in-store license |
| Canada | SOCAN + Re:Sound |
| Australia | OneMusic Australia |
An overview, not legal advice — rules, fees and small-business exemptions vary. Check with the society in your market.
