Planning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before starting any application planning is the first step on which the whole product is relying. If planning fails at the earlier process then the project may be stuck in the middle of nowhere. Developers have to plan demographics and the market needs to match with the users&#8217; needs.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Developing_features\"><\/span>2. Developing features:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Registration\/Sign-in:<\/strong> Once the user installs the app, they are directed to the registration page. Users can sign-up for the app by entering basic information such as name, age, contact number, country, and a set profile picture (optional). This data is used by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.octalsoftware.com.sg\/hire-mobile-app-developer\">app developers<\/a> for future analysis and helps to keep track of the user\u2019s music preference to deliver a better music experience. One can also log in via Email, Facebook, or entering OTP received on the mobile phone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Music Playlist:<\/strong> Once the registration process is complete, the user can choose their preferred songs from a wide variety of genres &amp; a wide setting panel found on the home screen. According to the success level, the app developer cannot just limit the types, offer access to random songs in various categories like \u201cTop 5 of the week\u201d, \u201cBlockbuster songs of the month\u201d, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Search:<\/strong> Search filters tend to be crucial in this kind of app as user&#8217;s head to a music streaming app to explore music. This feature helps users in searching through a wide range of databases and music libraries. To make the searching easier and interesting, app developers can set filters for artists, albums, mood, year of release &amp; song names.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Social Media Sharing<\/strong>: It is the time when social media networking is most popular among people and they love to share with friends about their favorite songs or love for the music. Hence, as an app developer, you can offer people to follow their friends and share their playlists with them. Integrate share options with each track so that social sharing becomes convenient.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4964\" src=\"https:\/\/www.octalsoftware.com.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/On-Demand-Music-Streaming-App-Development-screens.jpg\" alt=\"On-Demand-Music-Streaming-App-Development-screens\" width=\"800\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.octalsoftware.com.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/On-Demand-Music-Streaming-App-Development-screens.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.octalsoftware.com.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/On-Demand-Music-Streaming-App-Development-screens-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.octalsoftware.com.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/On-Demand-Music-Streaming-App-Development-screens-768x549.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Push Notifications:<\/strong> It is a great way to enhance user engagement. People who are sharing tracks on social media like to stay updated regarding the activities of other people they follow and push notifications are the ultimate means to do so. Besides, the app can also update the users regarding various other things, like when the track is up from their favorite artists, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Offline Music:<\/strong> Often the user\u2019s internet data may be exhausted or maybe there is a poor network connection. In such a situation, if there is no offline music play feature in your app, then the user tends to look for other apps offering offline support. Hence, using the device cache and saving music for offline usage is advisable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Formats for music app:<\/strong> Bitrate is among the few things which are extremely crucial as it comes to music streaming apps. While developing such an app, developers use a specific format that gets downloaded in a few seconds and plays music without buffering. It is known as M3u8, but the thing with this particular format is that it breaks the bit in smaller packets, has a limited lifespan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Music Quality:<\/strong> Formats such as Lossless and FLAC offer nice quality but are extremely slow owing to huge size, hence MP3 works better. Even though in the case of earplugs, 128kbit\/second is considered best by users who love to stream at 320kbit\/second. Hence, developers can offer multiple options and give access to a higher bit rate on premium subscriptions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Read Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.octalsoftware.com.sg\/blog\/on-demand-video-streaming-app-development-cost-and-features\/\">On-Demand Video Streaming App Development, Cost and Features<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Personalization\"><\/span>3.

However, it is advised to keep JavaScript or Python as the main framework.

Getting Licensing:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Music streaming apps are prominent among people as they don\u2019t charge for new songs. However, a legitimate procedure is followed to make this song available for people. Hence, Public Performance Rights are a must to stream music. The app developers need to procure rights and licensing from various organizations in various countries. Among the many ways for licensing deals, the most prominent are:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>According to the stream rate<\/li>\n<li>Paying through revenue percentage<\/li>\n<li>Through equity<\/li>\n<li>Making advance payments for future streams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Licensing can be done by App Development Partner from nation to nation as the global standards have not been set yet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.octalsoftware.com.sg\/contact-us\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4938\" src=\"https:\/\/www.octalsoftware.com.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/CTA-business-development.jpg\" alt=\"CTA-software-development\" width=\"850\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.octalsoftware.com.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/CTA-business-development.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.octalsoftware.com.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/CTA-business-development-300x40.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.octalsoftware.com.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/CTA-business-development-768x101.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Other_Technologies\"><\/span>7.
