Internet streaming is the type of technology that allows simultaneous reception of multimedia content and its simultaneous playback through a computer network. Global development of the Internet leads to growing demand for multimedia content. Discographers deal in distribution and sale of rights to play audio recordings (tracks), adapting their business to new technologies and modern ways of selling their products and services in order to survive in the market impacted by a large drop in demand and sales of CDs and DVDs. In the process of rationalization and automation of business processes, new standards in the electronic exchange of data are set between discographers and Internet streaming services with the goal to increase efficiency and economy. This paper describes a platform for the exchange of data and content, presents the concept and the basic methods used in the development of an automated system for the exchange of data and content between discographers and Internet streaming services and offers guidelines for future development.
