## What it is
CASH Music Platform is a free, open-source PHP platform that gives musicians tools to manage, promote, and sell their music online while retaining ownership and control. It can be used as a PHP library, integrated into CMS systems, or run standalone with an included admin webapp and APIs.

## Use cases
- sell music and downloads directly from my own website
- manage a mailing list and email fans about new releases
- self-host a music store without platform fees
- embed music marketing tools into an existing CMS
- run a standalone admin dashboard for my band's online presence

## When to choose
- you are a musician or label wanting self-owned tools for selling and promoting music
- you need a PHP-based, minimally dependent platform that runs on cheap shared hosting
- you want to integrate music commerce tools into an existing PHP/CMS stack

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with recent security updates (last release was 2019)
- you want a modern JavaScript/SaaS-style music distribution platform
- you require managed hosting or official support
