A music application is a web, mobile, or desktop application that enables users to purchase and stream music. Music apps typically offer access to popular music streaming services (e.g., Spotify), as well as the ability to create custom playlists of songs owned by the user.
Music apps are popular versions of audio entertainment apps, with a focus on music content and tools. These apps also share features with games that support music-based gameplay. The most popular music app types include song streaming apps like Spotify by Spotify AB, music discovery apps like Shazam, and DJ mixing apps like Mixer.

A music app needs to quickly gain users in order to increase the chance of top chart rankings and increase its overall user base. With a large user base, the app can gain more advertising revenue, which it can use to improve its service for users. A music app should also attempt to differentiate itself from online streaming platforms like Pandora and Spotify by offering exclusive content that cannot be found elsewhere. This could include exclusive interviews with musicians or behind-the-scenes footage. For example, the popular music app SoundCloud offers live recordings of concerts, which its users might not be able to hear anywhere else.
A music app faces legal challenges related to the ownership of intellectual property, and logistical issues related to the licensing of copyrighted material. You will want to ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable state laws regarding copyright use and distribution, and you will want to ensure that you have a robust mechanism for reporting violations of your Terms of Service. You may also want to consider implementing a mechanism for monetizing your app through the distribution or purchase of copyrighted content.
