Problem statementįor Windows, Musixmatch had only a classic Win32 application available as a standard. Thanks to this information, the application can download the proper lyrics from the Musixmatch database and keep them in sync with the playing track. Musixmatch is a lyrics application that leverages the background processes included in two of the most popular music players (Spotify and iTunes) to retrieve the following information: They have worldwide agreements with Sony/ATV, EMI Publishing, Warner/Chappell Music, Universal Music Publishing Group, BMG Chrysalis, Kobalt Music, Spirit Music Group, Harry Fox Agency, peermusic, Disney Music Publishing, and several others. Musixmatch is the world’s largest lyrics platform with millions of lyrics available online and more than 50 million users on various platforms.
Thanks to the Microsoft AppConsult team, in collaboration with the DX team, we were able to bring the Musixmatch Win32 application to the Windows Store by using Desktop App Converter. The Windows Store is not just a marketing showcase it is also a deployment tool that can help to manage installing, updating, and uninstalling application, without the “DLL hell” that was well-known to all who had to deploy Win32 applications.
This is a huge user base, and the good news is that there is a simple and powerful way to reach these users in a fast and reliably way: the Windows Store. Today, Windows 10 runs on more than 400 million PCs around the world, and it aims to reach 1 billion in 2018.
