What if I want to switch service tiers after I sign up?

If you decide that you would like to change your service level after signing up, you can simply send a message online using your admin panel. This will automatically be changed online and a notification of the change will be sent to your administrator email address.

What kind of hardware set up do I need?

Unlike many other services, we do not require any purchases from us. Instead, you can use your computer, smart phone, or tablet to access your music. All we require is internet connectivity. You then need to connect an audio cable from your computer to your speaker system.

If you do not have a computer or mobile device in your business, or would rather have a dedicated background music device, Overhead.fm also sells dedicated background music hardware for $74.95 including free shipping.

I'm currently a Muzak subscriber. How can I switch?

Many Overhead.fm customers choose our service after switching from Muzak. If you own your amplifier, you can switch to Overhead.fm simply by canceling your Muzak subscription and signing up for Overhead.fm online. If you are leasing your amp and receiver from Muzak, you will need to return those to your Muzak representative, and Overhead.fm is happy to reccomend a replacement amplifier. Generally, this amplifier costs approximately $200, a cost which is quickly offset by savings of switching to Overhead.fm . And of course, unlike with Muzak, with Overhead.fm you own your hardware outright and aren't locked into a long term contract.

What are the minimum computer requirements for Overhead.fm ?
