I would think its more related to royalties.. 'up and coming artists' are also cheap artists. I would am interested in subscribing to such a service for my properties.

I would imagine streaming a song in a store is much cheaper than say putting in a TV ad. But I'm no expert.

FWIW, it was this song. Sounded amazing on the store speakers. Even today, it barely has 100k views - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EdGEqbwSQ0

I wonder what if there really is a significant difference between streaming a song in a store vis-a-vis placing it in a TV ad.

That said, of the two playlist selection companies that I have only just read about, the charge for streaming in-store is between $34 to $199 per location per month.
