I wonder how much of *that* money goes to the songwriters. ;-)

The thread is about music on hold. Things such as playing local radio
stations in a waiting room are not related. I don't think there is
anything illegal about using normal over the air radio and TV for such
purposes as long as it stays in the local market area.

That's not as you're listening to it and not trying to rebroadcast.

It seems idiotic that you need 15 lawyers and a million bucks use

Maybe I just don't know the procedure.

I have done this in the past and I don't recall ever finding any
popular music by popular artist.
For example, if I wanted to play oh I don't know an original song
performed by the original artist such as Nora Jones or The Beatles
will I find this sort of thing at a Royalty Free Site?
On
No, you will not. According to the music industry those artists are all are
entitled to compensation for every time their song is broadcast, which includes
MoH. AFAIK, there are no popular songs by popular artists that are
royalty-free.

There's no royalty free popular songs by popular artists. Not only
would you have to pay royalties, you would have to secure the rights
from the artists' representatives just to get the permission to play
the songs in the first place.

Even if you can find non-original-artist recordings of such music, the
*compositions* are registered with BMI and ASCAP, and you'll need
blanket licenses to play them. (Well, if you only wanted one or two
