The broadcast list means a music list to be broadcasted through a broadcasting channel to be opened. If necessary, the number of music to be broadcasted per broadcast channel is set, the entire broadcast time is set, and music is selected in accordance with the set broadcast time . In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the user's selection number is less than a preset number or the entire broadcast time remains, the music broadcasting service apparatus 100 acquires from the genre-specific ranking list collected from the sound source service apparatus 100 The user can check the user's taste through analysis based on various information such as genre, atmosphere, main listening age, singer, and the like of the music selected by the user, automatically select the remaining music according to the determined taste, Can be completed. In this case, although the user likes a specific singer or genre, even if information or experience about the related music is lacking, it is possible to easily form a broadcast channel with a music corresponding to a specific singer, a genre, or his / her own taste.

In addition, the broadcast list of the opened broadcast channel can be updated periodically or non-periodically, specifically, by referring to the play list of the integrated list library updated periodically or aperiodically.

When the broadcast list is completed, the music broadcast service apparatus 100 can open the broadcast channel requested by the user by mapping the broadcast list and the broadcast channel information (S117). The broadcast channel thus opened is started to be accessible by an unspecified number of users via the music broadcast service apparatus 100.

FIG. 5 is a message flow diagram illustrating a process of providing a playlist-based music broadcast in a playlist-based music broadcast service method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the music broadcasting service apparatus 100 maps and manages information on broadcasting channels provided by a plurality of users and a broadcasting list provided in each broadcasting channel through the process as shown in FIG. 4, (400). ≪ / RTI >

That is, the music broadcasting service apparatus 100 provides information on broadcast channels and broadcasting lists currently established in a plurality of user terminal devices 200 connected through a communication network, A selection signal of a broadcast channel can be received (S201).

Upon receiving the selection signal of the specific broadcast channel, the music broadcast service apparatus 100 confirms the broadcast list set corresponding to the selected specific broadcast channel (S203).

In step S207, the corresponding sound sources are sequentially acquired from the at least one sound source service device 300 (S205) and are provided to the user terminal device 200 in order to sequentially listen to each music included in the broadcast list. At this time, the acquisition of the sound source can be obtained from the sound source service apparatus 300 to which the user who has opened the corresponding broadcast channel subscribes. In the embodiment of the present invention, the sound sources included in the broadcast list mapped to the opened broadcast channel may be provided free of charge to the user who selected the broadcast channel.
