PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Beat License Shop. Producers sign up and upload beats with title, BPM, key, genre tags, cover art, a tagged preview MP3 and full files. Show a public storefront with a playable list and filters.

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Let producers define license tiers (basic, premium, exclusive) with price, file types included, stream limit and terms text. Artists pick a tier and pay with Stripe checkout. After payment, generate a license PDF with buyer name, beat, tier and date, and give download links.
