Nowadays cloud computing continues its consolidation, both for technologies virtualization as for platforms development and application availability. These environments are naturally distributed and constituted by many types of software and hardware features, serving a broad range of customers with different requirements. A type of service that has had its use increasingly demanded is the processing of multimedia applications, such as audio and video. This type of service is characterized by different QoS, network and devices requirements, which fits well to cloud computing environments. Many applications or music service providers are available, both for web applications and mobile devices, such as Spotify, Deezer and Last.fm. Non-exclusive applications for music, but also videos, like YouTube and Netflix, are also widely employed by users of multimedia services. This paper describes and discusses an architecture for the implementation and development of computer music services in a cloud computing environment.
