Business InformationHistory/background
During the 1960s, the father of our current MD discovered the power of music and advertising to sell products in a retail environment. He started a business to market this product and this developed and grew, finally becoming GMS (Recordings) Ltd in 1976, when his son took over the running of the business. We are still a family business today, managed by the MD and his daughter (grand-daughter of the founder), and with another two family members employed elsewhere in the company.
Our business has been built on a foundation of long-term relationships with our clients - some of whom we have supplied for over 30 years. At GMS, we genuinely care about the success of our clients' businesses, and aim to work with them to develop the systems that best meet their needs.
Music4Uonline is our latest product development, created to offer a low-cost, flexible system that would allow clients to build their own playlists if they wish to, and utilising the delivery speed of Internet download

Our Products
We offer a range of products tailored to the particular technology of our clients. Through ebay we intend only to offer our music4Uonline service, which offers Internet-delivery of the music. If this is not appropriate for your business, please get in touch directly and we will discuss a system more suited to your needs, such as our Cd-updated systems.
Copyright Information
We are fully licensed to dub (copy) music, through both PPL and MCPS (soon to trade as PRS for Music). The music is for rental to businesses for playing in their public areas, e.g. foyers, waiting areas, restaurants, bars, retail spaces etc. The licenses cover us for providing these copies on both CD-based and HardDisk systems, including delivery via the Internet.
If you have any questions or queries about the legality of our business, please contact the copyright bodies directly. You can also find us on the list of licensees at http://www.ppluk.com/en/Music-Users/Provision-of-music-services/Types-of-services-available/ under both the 'Background Music Compilations' and 'Hard Disk Background Music' categories.
Users of our service still need to have the relevant public performance licenses, just as they would if they were playing CDs, the radio or a system from any of our competitors. Anyone who claims that these licenses are not required is talking nonsense!
