Development of a Collaborative Music Playlist Platform with Dynamic Song Rating and Scheduling Features

The client requires a scalable, robust music platform that enables multiple users to collaboratively create and manage playlists, with real-time song ratings influencing playback order. Existing major platforms lack tailored features for corporate or community environments, such as dynamic scheduling, diversity in playback, and responsiveness to user ratings. The platform must support large data volumes, offer resilient performance, and facilitate user engagement through intuitive interfaces.
