ListnIN brings musicians, venues and listeners into one live music platform. Digital Solutions developed the project around the different tasks these groups need to complete: promoting a performance, managing an event and finding music to enjoy.
What does ListnIN do?
Artists and bands can create profiles, promote performances and stream live shows. Fans can discover performers, follow favourites and receive event notifications. The platform connects the discovery of an artist with the opportunity to watch a performance.
Why do artists and venues need different tools?
A musician needs to explain who they are and what they are playing. A venue needs to present its events and broadcasts. A listener needs a straightforward route to relevant music. Planning these journeys separately helps avoid a crowded interface where everyone sees the same controls.
What happens behind the mobile app?
An administration system supports profile, event and broadcast management. This matters because a streaming product is more than a video screen: someone must organise the information that helps an audience find the right performance.
For a similar project, account permissions, event changes and access to broadcasts should be specified before development. These are planning considerations, rather than additional claims about ListnIN's existing functionality.
What should you plan before building a music app?
Start with the audience and the first useful journey. Will listeners follow specific artists, discover nearby venues or browse upcoming performances? Then define who publishes information and who resolves incorrect listings.
Streaming quality, operating costs and rights to broadcast performances also need consideration. A prototype can test the discovery screens before a full streaming service is developed.
Can Digital Solutions develop a similar platform?
Yes. ListnIN illustrates how mobile experiences and administration tools can work together. Bring examples of the artists, venues and events you want to support so we can discuss a realistic first version.
