Frequently Asked Questions
Common technical and operational questions about this app architecture.
No. We build the software architecture. You are entirely responsible for securing streaming rights, licensing deals, and uploading the actual audio files to the platform.
We utilize native mobile APIs (AVAudioSession on iOS, MediaSession on Android) wrapped within React Native to ensure audio continues playing when the app is backgrounded or the screen is locked.
Yes, we can engineer secure caching systems that download encrypted audio files to the device, playable only within your app while an active subscription is maintained.
We utilize Elasticsearch, which indexes the catalog metadata (artist, track name, album) to provide instant, typo-tolerant search results.
We can build the foundational data structures to track user listening habits, which can then be fed into machine learning models to generate 'Discover' playlists.
The platform tracks exact play counts and duration. You use this exported data to calculate royalties based on your specific licensing agreements and process payouts externally.
