Planned: a music-shaped player
Background playback, queues and a player built for listening rather than for watching.

On the roadmapYour catalogue, your subscribers, your app
For labels and independent artists who are tired of fractions of a paisa per stream. On the roadmap, not built yet — though the streaming app already does most of it.
- On the build roadmap
- Playlists planned
- Not available today
Not available yet. Music streaming app is on the 10mins build roadmap and is not something you can launch today. Everything described below is planned, not shipped. If you need to be live this week, the apps listed at the bottom of this page are built and taking signups now.
What Music streaming app will be
Streaming royalties are a rounding error for everyone except the biggest catalogues, and the platform keeps the listener either way. The planned music app is the direct alternative — your catalogue, your subscribers, your price. It is on the roadmap, but this is the one page on the list where the honest answer is that something live already covers most of it: the streaming app ships today with paid tiers and a branded app, and what it lacks is playlists and a music-shaped player. Independent artists and labels tired of fractions of a paisa per stream from Spotify, Gaana, JioSaavn or Wynk find this page.
Planned: playlists
Playlists made by you and by your listeners, which is how a catalogue gets explored rather than searched.
Planned: per-track and album releases
Releases that behave like releases, with a date and a notification rather than a file appearing.
What you can launch instead, today
Content and subscriptions
The podcast and streaming apps ship today with paid subscription tiers, a branded viewer app and your own subscriber list — the closest working equivalent if what you sell is content behind a paywall.
The closest live equivalent
The streaming app ships today with your own branded app, paid subscription tiers, push notifications on a new release and your own subscriber list. If your audience will accept a video-shaped player, you can launch this week.
Selling products directly
The online store ships today with a full catalogue, checkout, GST invoices and shipping — and takes zero commission on your sales.
Questions people ask
Can I launch a music app today?
Not a dedicated music app, but closer than most things on this list. The streaming app is live now with your own branded app, paid subscription tiers, release notifications and your own subscriber list. What it does not yet have is playlists and a music-shaped player with background playback.
What would the music app add?
Background playback, a queue, playlists, and releases that behave like albums and singles rather than like video uploads.
When will it launch?
No committed date. Because the streaming app already covers a good part of it, this one sits lower in the queue than apps with no live equivalent.
Who keeps the subscription revenue?
You do. Subscribers pay through your own payment gateway, and the subscriber list belongs to your business rather than to 10mins.
Can I build a music app like Spotify today?
Not the dedicated music app — that is on the roadmap and not built. But this is the closest near-miss on the whole roadmap: the live streaming app already gives you a branded app, paid subscription tiers, release notifications and your own subscriber list, and many artists launch on it today. What it lacks, and what the planned music app would add, is playlists and a music-shaped player with background playback and a queue.
Other apps you can launch on 10mins
Something else can be live today
This one is still being built. Thirteen other apps on 10mins are not, and they launch in the same ten minutes.
