Does anyone know anything much about Walmart music that plays in their stores? I believe it's their own service but don't know for sure.

I am mostly curious how they go about finding the material that they play.

Thanks all!

Thanks Bob. I found a similar one

Walmart Playlist

but am not sure how old that would be. I would be REALLY curious to find one for today.


Thanks

Checking the first link, a quick look at the 437 songs on the list I recognize less than 15; Little Richard, Elton John, Simon & Garfunkel, Janis Jiplin, Elvis.
I guess I'm dating myself.

Here you go Caaron. Walmart is no longer using one of the many retailer instore radio services out there. Click the link below to the blog page and then click on the comments. You'll see the number you can actually call for requests.

Ya'll are better at searches than I am! Thanks for the help!

I keep digging, but am trying to find a list of songs played today (or by date).

I'm going a bit crazy trying to find it...if it even exists.

Back in the day when I was first starting my business, I was also installing Dish Network satellite systems. They had music packages available as subscription services for businesses. Pay the subscription and you were covered for copyright royalties issues as well.

100% of my business tended to be on the residential side of things. In those packages you also ended up with music channels like Sirius XM radio has now. iHeart also is similar IIUC.

They dropped all of us independent installers and broke their contract by setting up in house installers. Lawsuits were filed ..... but nothing happened except I lost that revenue stream for my business.

All the times I go in Walmart, I never really even noticed that they have music. I'm busy watching the "people of Walmart"... the ones that are 450 lbs and wearing very inappropriate clothing. Like a ripped orange t-shirt that says "Juicy" on it. Ugggggh.... I'm thinking.... OMG... this person probably lives in this town.....

What would be REALLY cool is if they played it in the background on walmart.com....!!! grin

For anything I don't have to try on, I order online anyway. I don't want to end up on People Of Walmart.

Caaron,

If you're looking for a certain song off the playlist try emailing one of the Dj's and asking.

Yes indeed! I didn't know that till I read the article that was posted either. Pretty cool to think actually, in my book.

Fascinating conversation. Do you really spend enough time in Walmart that you are this concerned about the piped in music? I mean, whatever floats your boat, but still curious.

What would be better is if they provided bluetooth channels with different genres! You could take your own phone sin and connect to the network you want. That would keep me from getting Taylor Swift and Arianna Grande poisoning!!

One day I heard that awful "skyrockets in flight" song and I left my cart there and ran out before I became infected!!

(Of course that is a lie, but you need to play for the humor!)

When I go to Walmart, I'm on a mission. I know what I want, and generally, where it is, and hit the closest open register to check out.

My wife, on the other hand is probably typical of most women, we hit just about every department in the store with the exception of the toys and sporting goods. Figure you're going to be there a while.

My last girlfriend would somehow manage to kill 2 1/2 hours IN A WALMART!!!!

I'm like you Herb. I know exactly what I want, where in the store it is, and I find a department cash register rather than one by the exit. In. Buy. Out. Boom.

It's not about the amount of time I spend there, it's that in a little bit I was really surprised to hear a specific song. I was and still am curious how it happened.

This surprises me, but I REALLY am a fan of the self check outs! I'm out that much faster, with less conversation, or waiting in line. All wins in my book!

Mine all too often ends with pulling out of the parking lot and hearing "Guess what I forgot?" Sometimes it's the thing we went for!

Nothing derogatory meant by this, but I will never use a self checkout at any store myself....to me it is like taking a job away from a real flesh & blood human.

Yes, I have heard all the arguments for & against, yada yada yada, but for us it just does not feel right.....

#2 on their playlist is "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For."

Seems appropriate.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
