The idea of sharing music with friends is not new, and I'm not necessarily referring to transferring MP3 files over the network. I'm talking about creating a small private online space, preparing a playlist, and letting the magic play through the speakers. Turntable.fm offered something similar at the time (although with certain limitations), but it ended up biting the dust in 2013. Today, with Spotify and YouTube ruling the universe, anyone wanting a similar experience should try JQBX... as long as they have a Spotify Premium account.
Distributing music on the Internet was a storm of piracy and legal conflicts until Spotify entered the equation. Thanks to that platform, it was demonstrated that many people prefer to 'access' content rather than download it, while others take care of sales. Today, the market definitely favors Spotify, and an increasing number of projects are based on its operation. One of those projects is JQBX (compression/corruption of Jukebox), which from a certain point of view transforms Spotify to listen to music remotely and share it with friends.
How to listen to music remotely with friends on JQBX
JQBX is available on Android, iOS, macOS, and as a web app on its official page. Of course, to cross the threshold, you will need a Spotify Premium account, even if it's in trial mode. Once you've logged in and confirmed access permission, you have two general options. The first is to visit a public room, see what kind of music is playing there, and vote for your favorite songs, thus generating a kind of measurement or reputation for the room (located in the upper right corner of the interface). The second is to create your own space (either public or password-protected), invite friends, and even allow some of them to be DJs. If there's more than one DJ in the same room, JQBX will rotate their selections. The variety is impressive, and you'll most likely discover a couple of bands in the process.

Every time I talk about music with people, most don't hesitate to highlight the personal element when listening to it, that is, closing the door, adjusting the audio equipment or putting on headphones, pressing Play and leaving the whole world outside. JQBX goes in the opposite direction, and its entire bet depends on the social component. In other words, the final experience in JQBX will depend on each person, although there's almost nothing to criticize at a technical level, beyond the requirement of Spotify Premium.
