Advanced features are incorporated by the music app developers  in the form of audio and video functions. Research in  this field shows that there is a 79% increase in the amount of time spent towards these music apps, estimated between 2014 and 2015. The rise in music industry has, in many ways, has brought the M&E industry to a position where digitalization has become the key for brands to top the entertainment industry.
