See the article at the link for more details, including the definition of several musical licensing terms, such as "Mechanical License"http://www.vorys.com/publications-1151.html#page=1
I was talking to a relative a couple of years ago, and they were surprised to find out that it takes money to create a recording. And of course, years of practice, and much money for equipment, whether performing or producing music.

Most businesses use music in some capacity to create the right ambiance, draw a crowd or even to pacify holding telephone customers. The right music can influence purchasing decisions, how fast patrons at a restaurant eat and how satisfied customers feel in their dealings with your business. For these reasons, music is a valuable asset to your business. However, it is also a valuable asset to those that create it. A license is generally required for all public uses of music including use on a company website, at a holiday party, at conferences, in waiting rooms, in promotional videos and even use as background music to enhance a consumers experience. Proper music licensing not only supports the livelihood of its creators but also keeps your business out of court.
