The APRA AMCOS NZ app serves as a comprehensive resource for music rights management in New Zealand, offering insights into copyright protection, music royalties, and licensing for songwriters, composers, and music publishers.[1][5]

It provides detailed information on how APRA AMCOS grants licences for the live performance, broadcast, communication, public playing, or reproduction of musical works, then distributes fees as royalties to over 119,000 members worldwide.[1] Users can explore OneMusic New Zealand, a joint initiative with Recorded Music NZ that simplifies licensing for businesses using copyrighted music, ensuring compliance with Commonwealth legislation while supporting creators.[1]

Key features include guidance on membership eligibility for APRA (for songwriters and composers) and AMCOS (for publishers or unpublished writers collecting mechanical royalties), along with explanations of essential terms like IPI numbers for rights holders.[1][2] The app also covers industry support through competitions, awards such as the APRA Music Awards and Silver Scroll Awards, programs, grants, advocacy efforts, and music research to foster New Zealand's music ecosystem.[3][4][5]

Additional content highlights events, stories, media releases, and opportunities, helping users understand music licensing requirements, royalty collection processes, and ways to join or benefit from APRA AMCOS services in New Zealand.[1][5]

APRA AMCOS is Australasia’s leading music rights management organisation representing songwriters, composers and publishers since 1926. With more than 119,000 members across Australia and New Zealand, its membership includes the very best and brightest of established and emerging musical talent at home and around the globe. It administers rights on their behalf, supporting songwriters, composers and publishers in an industry that is a flagship of culture and creativity, generating billions of dollars each year for the Australian and New Zealand economies. It is affiliated with similar collective management organisations around the world. So when Australian and New Zealand songs and compositions are played overseas, Australian and New Zealand writers get paid. It also helps music customers in Australia and New Zealand access music from the rest of the world. APRA, the Australasian Performing Right Association Limited (APRA), was established in 1926 to manage the performance and communication rights of its members. This covers music that is communicated or performed publicly including on radio, television, online, live gigs in pubs and clubs, etc. AMCOS, the Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society Limited (AMCOS), was established in 1979 to manage “mechanical royalties”, that is, the reproduction or copying and storage of music in different formats. This covers copying of songs and compositions by record labels or other parties to sell them on CD, DVD, online, for use as production music and for radio/TV programs. Today APRA AMCOS is one organisation that covers all these rights and uses of music, for both local and international songs, for the benefit of music creators and music customers.
