Tip! You can use schedules to set different music rhythms for mornings and afternoons, for example. In this case, add own collection for the morning and schedule it to end daily, for example, at 12 PM. After this, add another collection for the afternoon, which you schedule to start at 12 PM and end when the store closes.
There are no power saving settings for SoundCube, so if your store is open from 10 AM to 8 PM, schedule the music to play at that time.
