Is a music license fee needed in a small personal training studio: 1340 square feet, open by appointment only?

I have been in the fitness business for 30 years and just now am being harassed by a music licensing company demanding me to get a music license for my studio. I use music through a Yes app and my own Cd’s. Since when did this become or is it an issue for us small business owners? Is anyone else dealing with this matter, please respond to my question…This company calls and emails me all the time…
Hi Stacy,
These music licenses have been required for some time now. I can remember being approached about this at a small gym I was working at in the early 90’s. It sure sounded like a scam to me, but it turned out to be real. Unfortunately, it’s something you’re going to have to look into. Good luck Stacy.
