Library Business Music Streaming Solution

Multnomah County Library (MCL) is gathering information on a business‑grade music streaming platform to be deployed across 30‑50 library spaces (multiple zones per branch) for programs such as storytimes, karaoke, cultural events, teen lounges, and ambient background music. The solution must support custom playlists, multi‑device access, simultaneous independent streams, a large multilingual catalog, integrated public‑performance licensing (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR), centralized and local control, scheduling, family‑friendly filtering, AI‑free operation, announcement insertions, government/non‑profit pricing, and dedicated technical support. No contract will be awarded from this RFI; responses will inform a future solicitation. • Must be a cloud‑hosted, web‑based music streaming service with subscription licensing. • Needs to handle 30‑50 zones with independent control and scheduling capabilities. • Requires full public‑performance licensing and “set‑it‑and‑forget‑it” explicit‑content filtering. • Vendor must provide pricing models, government/non‑profit discounts, and be willing to demo the solution.
