#12It's kind of like twitch meets soundcloud. I like it. Give us a demo with more than 2 users.

It is. We felt that people were more likely to focus on the experience with a shorter, more curated set of tracks.
Curious, why did you limit it to just two people? I would just want to send a playlist of three items out asynchronously to my friends, so they can listen whenever they want.
I think the point of the experience is to be in sync while listening, rather than just sharing a playlist with friends.

I get the idea of not creating a massive playlist but I think more than three would be good - I wanted to create a downtempo/ambient playlist and had at least seven tracks in mind. I think 7-9 would be a good number.

#16ha! i've built a prototype of this same thing 3 or so years ago! (not over websockets tho).
nice job!

#17Nice! I've got a similar project currently in the pipes.
I've noticed that the playlist can get pretty out of sync when one of the clients disconnects and reconnects, sometimes by a few minutes. But otherwise really well done.
