The problem
Background Music Apps
Problem
One stock loop for every user
A background music app ships with a handful of licensed tracks. Users hear the same loop on every session, notice it within days, and the sound that was meant to calm or focus them becomes something they mute.
With Mubert
The API streams realtime generative music across 150+ moods and themes, so a session never replays the same loop. Intensity can shift while the stream plays, and like and dislike feedback can personalize what each user hears.
Problem
Tracks that never fit the session
Focus timers, sleep sessions, and workouts all run to different lengths. Editing library tracks to fit means fades that sound clumsy, loop points that click, and a product team spending hours on audio cleanup instead of features.
With Mubert
Generate a track from text, an image, BPM, genre and mood at the length the session needs, from 15 seconds up to 25 minutes, as MP3 or WAV. Webhooks tell your backend when it is ready.
Problem
Licensing every user's listening
Once an app has thousands of listeners, someone has to explain who is allowed to play what. Tracking rights per user across sessions and plans turns into paperwork, and a gap can mean claims or muted audio.
With Mubert
Your backend creates a customer for each user, with its own customer-id and access-token, and their usage counts against your license. Check the pricing page plan table for which plans include sub-licensing or monetized content.

Background Music Apps
How it fits your product
Background music in an app has to stay out of the way. Keep the energy low and steady, tempo between 70 and 90 BPM, with soft pads, mellow keys and light percussion. Avoid sharp transients and prominent vocals, since they compete with UI sounds, voice prompts and reading. Loops should be long enough that users do not notice repetition, or use an endless stream.
Use the stream mode for sessions where users stay in the app for a while, such as focus, reading or meditation screens. Your backend creates a customer for each user and passes the customer-id and access-token to the client, so their usage counts against your license. For short screens or onboarding, generate tracks or pull from the library by mood and BPM.

FAQ
Background Music Apps
Can I generate different background music for each user in my app?
Yes. Your backend creates a customer for each of your users, which gives you a customer-id and access-token. Their usage counts against your license. You can also use like and dislike feedback to personalize the music each user hears over time.
How do I change the intensity of background music while a user is in the app?
In stream mode, Mubert delivers realtime generative music over WebRTC with sub-second latency, and the intensity can change while the stream plays. That lets you raise or lower the energy as the user moves between screens or activities without restarting playback.
