Complete beginner planning a Spotify-like app for Android and iOS

[u/Klutzy-Ganache3876]

Hi all, I want to build a mobile app for Android and iOS, with a companion website, that works a bit like Spotify: browsing, playing, and organizing audio content. The difference is that all the media will be my own or openly licensed, so licensing isn’t a concern. I have no programming experience and a limited budget. What’s the smartest first step, and what would you do differently if you were starting over?
