FWIW, my SACEM forms simply call this a "Programme à compléter" - not exactly explicit! But Verslanglais is absolutely right, there are also other documents which will depend on how & where the music is presented. I have several different forms.

I'm insisting on this point because it's possible that they factor in, for example, the number of people likely to frequent the establishment.

"the revenues are divided according to information gathered on the (broadcasting) establishments or by their supervisors."

I don't think the term playlist infers there is not complete information - but I suppose you could stick in an adjective. "full playlist" or something better... ;-))

données de diffusions récoltées sur les points de diffusion ou par les diffuseurs.

Maybe something like this:
playlists established by broadcasters or at sites where music is played or performed.

Just to put in my two cents' worth, I would be cautious about using "playlist" as a translation for "données de diffusion". To me it sounds like there is more information in the said "données" than just a list of songs.

But venue doesn't work if we're being all inclusive

Maybe venues for "points". Distributor doesn't work for diffuseurs, IMO. I'll think abou it.

it's talking about the royalties being shared between the artists on the basis of the playlists: I could translate données de diffusion as playlist but am stuck for point de diffusion and diffuseurs

Classically speaking, "music distribution companies" in the US were responsible for all music rights, starting with publication of song sheet music. The performance rights groups, starting with ASCAP, served as an intermediary between rights owners and music consumers. My concern here is that the categories in France are slightly different than in the US or Britain, and that it is best to rephrase everything to take that into consideration, rather than trying to use the categorization used in the original text. But we don't have enough context to know what is important (is this talking about costs in a restaurant, or is it from the perspective of a composer, for example?) and what is off subject.

diffuseurs should be the right spelling!!

diffuseurs should be the right spelling!!

If we are talking about rights in the legal sense than point de diffusion is distribution point (or distrubution channels),if we are taling about speakers playing music we are talking about diffusion, distributors is probalby the right translation of diffeurs

Looking at performance rights organizations, when speaking globally, they refer to "rights". There does not seem to be a general term. Perhaps something inclusive like "played, performed or broadcast" or "presented or performed" could help in a rephrasing. The SACEM, which I assume you are dealing with, also controls music in elevators, gyms, dance studios, political conventions, anyplace music is performed or presented in public.

Unless your text specifically excludes it, radio, TV & Internet is included in music diffusion rights.
