Where do music streaming services get all their music from?

609 views

Like many of these services have 50 million+ songs. Like if I wanted to invent my own streaming service, where would I start? Do you have to contact every record label imaginable and request every song to be sent to you? Like how does one all of a sudden acquire millions of songs to include in a database?

It usually goes the other way. You create a platform and tell everyone “I will pay you whenever your music is played on this platform.”

Then, each artist signs up, adds their own music, and you would pay the artist for their contribution. The cost to the platform-builder is offset by things that come with the platform: ads, subscription services, etc.
