There are several other ways to have music in your dental practice but you’ll encounter serious disadvantages over Smile Radio.
- High repetition of same songs and same artists.
- Limited playlists not designed for all day, or day after day, listening.
- Lots of talk, commercials and interruptions. Even commercials for other dentists.
- Poor signal in buildings.
- Constant changing of discs.
- Plays entire CDs with songs you’d rather not hear.
- Unless you buy a lot of CDs you’ll have high repetition. And no other channels to switch to.
- You are responsible for keeping track of what’s been played and paying licensing fees to ASCAP, BMI and SESAC .
- Hours always stocking up the player with music, then picking the playlist, then keeping the player going.
- Unless you keep adding music you’ll have repetition of songs and artists. And no other channels to switch to.
- You are responsible for keeping track of what’s been played and paying licensing fees to ASCAP, BMI and SESAC .
- High repetition of same songs.
- Designed for in-car listening, not all day listening in dental practices or offices.
- Songs not appropriate for office listening.
- Difficulty in getting satellite signal at many buildings. Weather can effect or interrupt satellite signal.
- Narrow compressed sound. Many dentists say Smile Radio sounds better.
- You could always keep it quiet and go without music, but that increases boredom and turns up the tension with staff and patients. The right mix of music always makes the work day go so much better.
