Overview
Audoo is a London music technology company founded in 2018 that measures which recordings are actually played in public venues. Its Audio Meter device recognises tracks in shops, bars and gyms and reports them to collecting societies so royalties follow real usage rather than sampling estimates. The company works with performing rights organisations in several countries.
