music license and debt collection

Actually "mechanical copyright" is collected by PRS (or as they used to be known MCPS-PRS alliance). Mechanical Copyright is MCPS.Just to be clear - A PRS licence is for playing copyrighted music, whether it be on CD, Radio or a live performance.
A PPL licence is required for playing 'mechanical copyright' so for all intents and purposes CD, Cassette and Vinyl.
So if you're a shop playing the radio, you don't require a PPL licence. if you're playing CDs you probably need both.
There is royalty free music you can obtain which doesn't require PRS licencing (not sure about the PPL in this particular instance).Always get a Qualified opinion - My qualifications are that I am OLD and GRUMPY:p:p0
