What Is Amp?

Amp is a music app that allows creators to use tens of millions of licensed songs from Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group as well as several independent music companies.

The app is free to use and doesn’t require a subscription, giving you immediate access to a library of songs you can use to create live radio shows. There’s also a community aspect to the app, which allows you to interact with callers in real time.
