Music licensing and streaming for smart home devices and wearables

The popularity of smart connected devices and wearables is on the rise, and it’s no wonder why: the opportunity to easily access important data and streamline everyday tasks makes utilizing smart devices a smart lifestyle hack. In fact, the global smart home devices market is projected to grow from USD 121.59 billion in 2024 to a whopping USD 633.20 billion by 2032. Here at Feed.fm, we work with some of the most innovative companies implementing smart and connected devices and smart wearables, including alphabeats, Aescape, Electric Mirror, Tonal, and Bowflex. We’ve found that as enticing as smart connected devices are, the one thing that makes them even more indispensable is music. Music has the power to make your app or smart device an integral part of the user’s day, increasing the time they spend with it and the enjoyment and benefit they receive from using it.

The variety of available smart devices is rapidly growing, and new tech innovations are making these devices more compelling and more relevant to users’ lifestyles. Beyond smart speakers, smart TVs, and smart workout equipment, there are connected devices that monitor health and wellness, like sleep trackers, and wearables that include watches, glasses, and other fitness tracking devices. The addition of carefully curated, science-backed music adds an entirely new dimension to the value of smart devices. Energizing, motivating music powers up workouts on connected home fitness equipment. Relaxing and soothing music integrated into apps for wellness and sleep trackers helps support restful sleep. The addition of music to apps for wearables allows users to soundtrack their entire day, whether it’s focus music for work, upbeat music for a run, or chill lo-fi music for relaxing and winding down. If you’re interested in what the integration of music can do for your smart product, let’s explore the options.

The right music for smart technology devices

Music is crucial to creating the ideal ambience for smart devices, whether it’s soothing music for a robotic massage with Aescape technology or a high-powered workout routine with Tonal. With access to the knowledge and expertise of Feed.fm’s dedicated team of music curators, finding the perfect music for connected devices and wearable technology is easier than you might think. Using evidence-based principles of biomusicology, music for smart devices is selected for the desired effects on the human brain and body. Companies can even specify music that’s suitable for their brand and audience with Feed.fm’s proprietary rating system which uses lyrical and contextual data to categorize music into letter ratings like G, PG, etc. Our partner alphabeats has chosen Feed.fm to power music for their groundbreaking neurofeedback training app. Focused on helping athletes optimize their performance by learning to intentionally induce a flow state, alphabeats relies heavily on music as one of the primary components of the practice. Whatever goals your smart device is helping end users achieve, the music curation experts at Feed.fm can help you fine-tune your music selection to drive the desired results.
