Spotify today rolled out a new feature that lets you listen to music in real-time for up to 32 people, Jam, globally. This feature is available for both Premium users and free users. However, only Premium users can initiate it — and free users can contribute. Notably, this feature isn’t new — and we have seen it previously on apps like Blend and Duo Mix. These apps have been designed for parties — among a group of people where anyone can add to a shared playlist sort of.
Spotify explains Jam as, “a personalized, real-time listening session for any group to tune in together. Jam builds on some of our popular social features, and combines them with our personalization technology to make listening with pals better than ever. With Jam, Premium subscribers will be able to invite others to contribute through a shared queue, and enjoy a musical experience made exclusively for everyone listening.”
