# Curator Now by Activaire

> Curator Now is a human-curated, fully licensed background music platform for businesses: hotels, restaurants, retail, offices, cafes, gyms, bars, spas, salons, boutiques, healthcare, automotive, and yoga studios. Music is curated by a real curator (not an algorithm-only playlist), organized into zones and schedules per space, licensed for commercial use in the U.S. and Canada, and playable through a browser, Sonos, Q-SYS, Marshall speakers, or Activaire's own Epicentre media player.
