Project Description
Sharing audio files is challenging. This project aims to make it easier for developers to build solutions for it and help content creators move away from inefficient solutions like email and messaging apps that can lead to audio quality loss and inconveniences. The music sharing app in this project will be built using Next.js and the MERN stack with two primary interfaces:
The music file uploading and sharing interface
The shared file download interface
In the music file uploading and sharing interface, we’ll learn how to handle file uploads and use a Cloudinary integration to store the uploaded files so that they can be shared. We’ll also learn how to use MongoDB and Express for our backend to support the file uploads. In the shared file download interface, we’ll learn how to handle file downloads from our Express server. Upon completing this project, we’ll have proficiency in MERN stack application development and an enhanced ability to handle audio file uploads, storage, and sharing.
