Show HN: To fight quarantine boredom I build a site to watch movies with friends

does anyone know of a good website to do this but for music? Ideally I'd love to be able to create room where buddies can join, we can chat and take turns suggesting songs to play that we all listen to. I would literally pay money for that.

This is an awesome project ... my daughters have been doing this a bit just using group-chat on their phones but I'm going to propose our small prep school has a movie night. I guess that will test it at scale ;)

Almost as perfect as it is morbid.

What if someone is on a device like a Fire TV?

If you pay for spotify, https://www.jqbx.fm/ can do that.
