How the UMix System Works

How the UMix System Works

What's Required?

For either Music or Digital Signage, the UMix system requires two components:

  1. The UMix Player Software - Windows or Android, for Music or Digital Signage. The player software runs on devices we ship or can be installed on your own device.
  2. A UMix Subscriber Account at myumix.com

Those two things work in tandem to bring you the unique UMix experience.

Note: There is no direct control of what plays on the player software itself. All changes are made through our website and only by verified account users controlled by the Account Administrator. On-site employees cannot change the music on a whim.

1. The Player's Job

Whether you use our software or purchase a player from us, the player's job is simple - connect to your Subscriber account and follow its instructions. That's it.

2. Your UMix Subscriber Account's Job

This is what puts the "U" in UMix. Customize as much or as little as you please. Schedule our playlists, build your own, blend up your own combination, set up day-parts, use multiple schedules, block songs or artists. Do whatever you want. There are no rules.

The Basic Flow for Music in Your Subscriber Account

Learning this flow will help you understand our system and get the most value from it. It is especially useful when you are just getting started with UMix.

Note: The basic flow for music is the same for messaging and digital signage - all by design to make UMix easy to learn.

  1. Pick playlists you want to hear (check boxes)
  2. Add playlists to your schedule (drag and drop)
  3. Add a schedule to your Program (drop-down list)
  4. Associate a Program with each location (drop-down list)

That's it. After you make any changes on our website, the system organizes your requirements and the players pick them up automatically and play according to your instructions.
