Play Records

Play Records is a Toronto music publisher providing music publishing, sync licensing and music-search services through an international online licensing catalogue.

Play Records is an active Toronto music company established in 1996. Its current official About page describes Play Records as both an electronic-music label and publisher, while the official Contact page states that Play Records is headquartered in Toronto, Canada. The Play Licensing site identifies itself as a division of Play Records Publishing Inc., and the City of Toronto directory lists Play Records Inc. in its music-publisher section. MusicList therefore uses Play Records as the canonical directory name and retains Play Records Inc. and Play Records Publishing Inc. only as current identity-resolution forms. Toronto, Ontario is published as headquarters without reproducing the exact address, direct inboxes, telephone or fax numbers, named personnel or inferring that the office accepts visitors. The official 1996 establishment date is retained without founder names, biographies, ownership, awards, catalogue scale or promotional rankings. This profile is deliberately scoped to the publishing and sync vertical. The current official About page says Play Records is a publisher and licenses its catalogue for film, television, video games and other media. Play Licensing presents pre-cleared music from artists worldwide, says it represents the full rights to the music in its catalogue and provides music-search help. MusicOntario's current music-publishing directory and the City of Toronto's current directory independently classify Play Records as a music publisher. MusicList normalizes this evidence into music publishing, sync licensing and music search, with an international service territory and online music licensing. It does not promise that every proposed use is cleared, available or approved. Play Records also operates active record-label, digital-distribution and adjacent studio and sub-label activities. Its official homepage documents current 2026 releases and a thirtieth-anniversary release, establishing current company activity. Those adjacent operations are disclosed only as identity and activity context: MusicList does not import record-label development, marketing, sales, distribution, recording-studio, merchandise or sub-label services into the publisher fields. The official artist page says its list covers artists whose tracks were distributed on the label, so those names are not converted into publishing or licensing clients. Historical licensing examples on the About page do not establish a current bounded work role. MusicList therefore publishes no representative client, work or industry-organization graph relation and does not create a separate Play Licensing entity edge because the current site identifies it as a division. The current Play Licensing page says it is looking for new creators and provides a Submit Music route for artists to let the licensing division hear their work. MusicList records this licensing-catalogue intake as open and links the stable public Play Licensing page rather than reproducing the external submission destination or any form fields. The reviewed landing page states no exact eligibility, required materials, fee, deadline, review time or response commitment. The separate Play Records demo route is label intake and is not broadened into a publisher-submission route. Do not send music to staff or general company inboxes. No reply, review, acceptance, signing, representation, catalogue inclusion, licence, placement, payment or other outcome is promised. No image-reuse permission was established, so the profile uses MusicList's deterministic monogram fallback.
