How To Listen To Music With Friends Far Away
Why should we listen to music together?
Listening together to some music is one of the best social activities. Topics for discussion might be based on the lyrics, or the artist. But what happens when your music-loving friends live far away?
All thanks to the applications that are listed below, it is very easy to listen to music with your friends at the same time, even if you are not together. Most of these applications demand that you have access to a music streaming service, such as Spotify Premium or Apple Music.
1. Vertigo
In addition to allowing you to listen to music with your friends, Vertigo lets you start your own public channel such as a radio station for strangers all over the world to listen to. If you are not sure of what to listen to, visit the homescreen of the app to listen in to trending live sessions from other people.
Using Vertigo needs a music streaming subscription. After downloading the application and syncing together with Spotify Premium or Apple Music, you would have to start a listening party to stream your beloved tracks to your friends using the app at the same time.
2. EarBuds
Specifically for iOS users, EarBuds is designed towards listening in on celebrities and superstars. That might mean that tuning in to your favorite quarterback’s pre-game playlist or checking out what they are listening to during their off-season training.
But EarBuds is not only for athletes. You can create your own channel to stream your music live with your friends as well. Connect your EarBuds to your Apple Music or to your Spotify Premium account then create a playlist to distribute to the world.
Add a title to each playlist so people would know what you are doing while you listen to it. That way you can show off the music that you enjoy for different activities. You just have to share a link of your live stream to your friends and keep the conversation flowing on the Chat page.
3. JQBX
If you and your friends make use of a lot of different devices such as iPhone, Mac, Android or PC, JQBX is the best option to listen to music together across all those platforms. Download the app from your device app store and sign in to it. After signing in to JQBX, create a private listening room and invite your friends to enjoy the music together. Otherwise, join the JQBX community members for a global song-sharing session.
Cheer the songs that you love and boo the ones that you don’t. You can then take a look at the trending songs to listen to what are the most popular with JQBX users across the globe.
4. we:fm
This is yet another application that is only for iOS users, we:fm allows you to listen to music at the same time as your other friends who are using the application. Like JQBX, it only works with the Spotify Premium for the time being.
Once you have connected your music streaming account, you can then connect it to your Facebook and find out other friends that are using we:fm. Now you can broadcast your music for friends to tune in and chat about the songs that you are listening to together.
If you don’t want to listen live, you can start a new chat that is within we:fm to share your songs with friends for them to listen to later. Or you can share links on private mode so that you can keep listening to those show tunes without bothering about others judging you.
