The jukebox is owned by a vendor that supplies stuff like that and it's license does not cover live music or karaoke.

What were the fees like for Live/Karaoke? (Like I said - it's been well over a decade since I've been involved in this kind of stuff)

I believe the venue which hosts the coin operated phonograph is required to pay royalties to ASCAP et al. if there are any ASCAP records contained therein and may get pressured by ASCAP to pony up the dough even if there are zero ASCAP records in it (I recall hearing of at least one place that had all non-ASCAP polka music in its juke box but had to go to court to prove it).
