What this system does
The Pay-Per-Listen Platform creates a marketplace between music creators and listeners. Creators can launch listening campaigns to promote their music, while listeners earn rewards for completing verified listening sessions. The platform tracks listening activity, calculates rewards, manages balances, and supports automated payout workflows.
