A streaming service app for the music sector is an application that provides users with unlimited access to a library of streaming songs. Streaming service apps are often used by members of an organization or community with shared interests, such as music fans or students at a university. A streaming service app needs to provide the ability to search for specific songs, display album artwork, and play audio files in high quality sound.
App types related to the music industry are commonly found across most other entertainment, media, travel, and social networking app categories. Examples of popular streaming services include Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, and Apple Music.

A streaming service app can grow its user base by offering a variety of features that make it easy for users to discover new music. A streaming service app should also provide a large number of playlists and other ways for users to explore the catalog of music on the platform. In addition, a streaming service app should offer social media integration, so users can share their favorite songs with friends.
A streaming service app faces liability risks related to the violation of music copyright, the violation of user privacy, and the resolution of disputes between artists and listeners. Before building a streaming service app, you should consult with an attorney regarding your application’s compliance with U.S. copyright law; if you make use of third-party content (such as YouTube videos) for your streaming service, you may also be subject to infringement claims by rightsholders. It is important that your application respect user privacy by not sharing or disclosing any personally identifiable information without the consent of users; it is especially critical that any personally identifiable information collected by your application is stored in a secure manner. Finally, it’s important that you have mechanisms for resolving disputes between artists and listeners on your platform—you may want to consider partnering with a dispute resolution agency to manage complaints from artists about listener behavior.
