Production Music Online

What Production Music Online does

Production Music Online is a London, UK-based online music licensing platform that operates a self-serve e-commerce storefront for media production professionals. The company targets a horizontal persona segment including filmmakers, television producers, advertising agencies, video game developers, and corporate video creators who need production music for film, television, advertising, and digital media projects. Customers register accounts on the website, browse the music catalog by style, category, and album, preview tracks, build tagged playlists, and purchase individual track downloads or licensing rights. The platform is powered by Harvest Media's Harvest.Music underlying technology, which provides the music library, search infrastructure, and content management system.

The product offering is composed of four integrated components: a searchable production music catalog with filtering capabilities; a Tag Manager for organizing tracks and creating playlists; a Playlist and History management system tied to user accounts; and an EDL-to-Cuesheet Converter that accepts uploaded Edit Decision List files and returns a formatted .XLSX cuesheet for production documentation and licensing tracking. The EDL conversion feature is the platform's most workflow-specific differentiator, targeting production professionals who would otherwise assemble cuesheets manually.

Revenue is generated on a direct-to-consumer, transaction-based model through track licensing sales via the e-commerce cart, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers, subscription plans, or enterprise contracts. The company maintains a lean operation with approximately 11 employees and serves customers globally through its website with no geographic restrictions disclosed.
