Statistical analysis was used to evaluate user satisfaction with the system. Two groups of sample have been collected for testing (n < 30) the satisfactions in topic of graphic user interface, system performance and confidence on web application. The results indicated that the satisfactions of the usefulness of the application of musician and others was not different and the two groups agreed that the use of the web application could support and improve the collection of Northern traditional music by distribution via a responsive web application. The use of suitable management and information technology can provide benefits to society and shed light on the national identity, especially with regard to Northern traditional music.
