Once you’ve created a room, you can share a URL that will allow anyone who wants to listen along, provided they also have a Spotify Premium account.Īll in all, JQBX makes for an easy way to do what Spotify’s Group Sessions feature doesn’t: listen to music with friends remotely in real time. And yes, there’s a chat window.īeyond joining an existing music room in JQBX, you can create your own, which you can make either public or private.

If you’re feeling inspired, you can drop the needle on tracks in your own JQBX music queue by becoming a DJ yourself. If you join a room, you’ll instantly hear the synced music that’s playing for everyone else, and you can give the current track a thumbs up or down, with your votes nudging an approval needle one way or the other (a feature that should sound familiar to Turntable.fm users).
JQBX TWITTER MOD
How do I add a mod to my room Right click on their username on the right side of the room. Frequently asked questions for room creators. Dozens will be available at any given time (“Chill Vibes,” “Pizza & Beer,” “Sea of Metal,” “The Bat Cave,” and “Isolation Station” were among the rooms I found on a given morning), complete with album art for the song that’s currently playing, along with the genre of the room and how many listeners and DJs are inside. JQBX will automatically open the Spotify app when starting up. Once you sign in with Spotify (thankfully you don’t need to create a separate JQBX account), you’ll jump to a list of the most popular listening rooms.

JQBX, which first launched about three years ago, is a free app for iOS, Android, and the web, but you will need a Spotify Premium account to use it. Once you enter a JQBX room, you can vote on the currently playing track, chat with other listeners in the room, or even become a DJ.
