 ABSTRACT

The goal of this article is to provide customers with easy access to a large music collection by
examining the design and implementation of a music streaming service. The service ensures low
latency and buffering by delivering high-quality audio streams to customers' devices via cloud-
based infrastructure. Personalized playlists and suggestions, social sharing options, offline
listening choices, and compatibility with several audio formats are some of the service's standout
features. The accuracy of the recommendation engine is improved by the system architecture's
integration of powerful data analytics to comprehend user preferences and behaviours. Security
protocols are put in place to safeguard user information and guarantee adherence to digital rights
management (DRM) guidelines. Because of its scalable architecture, the service can handle an
increasing number of users and a growing music library without sacrificing functionality. This
essay also addresses the difficulties encountered throughout development, such as user experience
design, data storage optimization and latency control. The goal of the music streaming service is to
completely transform how people find, listen to, and share music.
