Why IMF is different
Musicians do not need another streaming service.
IMF starts with recordings, service links, and catalog information you already have. It gives listeners a clearer public path to the music while playback stays with the services that host it.

Two different models for custom apps
One guides listeners to music. The other must host and stream it.
| What matters | International Music Factory | Other White Label App Makers |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | IMF starts by retrieving metadata directly from each streaming service that carries the musician’s recordings, then brings that information together with the recordings, service links, and catalog information already connected to the musician. | Takes a separate music upload and matching metadata for its own library. |
| Where the music lives | Recordings remain with the streaming services that already host them. | Music lives on the host-and-stream service’s own system. |
| Public catalog | Connects people, works, recordings, releases, and service links into a focused public catalog. | Catalog clarity is tied to material added to that service. |
| Where fans listen | Fans open the recording on the service that hosts it. | Fans play the recording inside the host-and-stream service. |
| Where listening and royalties happen | IMF gives selected recordings a clearer route to listeners, then directs them to the streaming services where they already live. Playback and any royalties continue under the musician’s existing service and rights arrangements. | The host-and-stream service handles music hosting and playback. |
| App-store submission | IMF prepares a personalized app and metadata pack for app-store submission. Store review is separate. | Other White Label App Makers need their own upload, metadata, hosting, and streaming setup. |
