SmartLabel Introduces AI-Powered Radio Service to Transform In-Store Music for Businesses
Dutch music technology company SmartLabel B.V. is expanding the use of artificial intelligence in the music industry with the introduction of RadioMatic, a platform designed to provide businesses with customised radio stations powered entirely by generative AI.
The service is built for businesses such as retail stores, supermarkets, restaurants, salons, offices, showrooms and other commercial spaces looking for personalised background music and in-store entertainment.
RadioMatic became available across all its subscription plans on August 27, 2026, allowing businesses to access the service without joining a waiting list.
More Than Background Music
Unlike conventional background music services, RadioMatic combines AI-generated music with virtual radio presenters, local news updates and promotional announcements.
Its AI presenters can introduce different moods throughout the day, mention a business by name and deliver customised announcements between songs.
Businesses can also manage their stations through a central dashboard, allowing operators with multiple locations to control their music selection, promotions and station settings from one place.
Reducing Music Licensing Expenses
One of the major selling points of RadioMatic is its approach to music licensing.
According to SmartLabel, the platform generates its music using artificial intelligence rather than commercially released recordings by traditional artists. The company argues that this removes the need for certain music licensing payments in the Netherlands, particularly those collected by Buma/Stemra and Sena.
However, this is SmartLabel’s legal position and should not be interpreted as a universal exemption from music copyright or licensing requirements in other countries.
Subscription Plans and Accessibility
RadioMatic offers different subscription packages to accommodate businesses of varying sizes.
Its plans range from a free option to paid packages offering additional features, including unlimited AI presenters, customised announcements and management tools for business chains.
The company also provides a 14-day free trial, giving potential customers an opportunity to test the service before committing to a subscription.
What This Means for the Music Industry
The introduction of RadioMatic reflects how artificial intelligence is creating new possibilities beyond traditional music streaming and distribution.
While AI-generated music continues to generate discussions around copyright, royalties and the future of human creativity, businesses are increasingly exploring alternative ways to manage their entertainment needs.
For independent musicians, producers, record labels and music distributors, developments like this raise important questions about how AI could reshape music licensing, commercial music usage and revenue opportunities.
As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated into the global music business, the relationship between technology and traditional music creation will remain an important industry conversation.
