Also, during execution of the web application, it is possible to transmit data such as data or image written in necessary web code according to the items defined by the web code, and to receive the data from the web server and display it. These Web applications are easy to manage and highly scalable.

The recently announced web code, HTML5, supports the <audio> tag and can provide audio functionality without a plug-in in a web browser. Therefore, it is possible to play audio only with browser in PC, tablet, smartphone and various device environment.

There are, however, many differences between music players that are commonly used on PCs and players that deliver music on the web to browsers. As a typical example, if you double-click a music file stored locally on your PC, the music will play. However, since the music file exists on the server in the browser, you can access the music service by accessing the specific site. However, after accessing and logging in to the music service each time, there are troublesome steps to access the music playback menu. In addition, since each site provides a player for playing a file existing in the corresponding web server, even if the same music or movie file is reproduced, it is inconvenient that the player must install the players provided by the site.
