Apple seems to be concerned that you are using a charging system other than IAP ('purchase song through app') in a situation in which you may be required to use IAP. Are you familiar with the guidelines regarding IAP?


Apple is also concerned that you are displaying and distributing album covers and songs for which you do not have the right to do so under copyright law. They want you to send them documentation indicating you have such rights.

If that was you, note we can't see them...
