Before you can start playing music, you need to connect your device to a location using a pairing code. A pairing code is created once you've selected which device to use. A pairing code is unique and can be used once, but you can easily unpair your current device and pair it with a new device whenever you want. This article covers how to:
Pair your device
1. You manage your locations and players on your account so start by logging into business.soundtrackyourbrand.com with your email address and password.
2. To access a pairing code, you need to create a location. A location is usually created during the onboarding steps. Follow this getting started guide to add your first location if you haven't already.
If you've already created a location, simply click on Locations in the top menu. Choose to create a new one, or click on the name of a current one. Note that the subscription for the location needs to be active for you to be able to start playing music. Click on activate subscription directly, or when you're ready to start using playing music in the specific location.
