Listen Together With Long Distance Partner

Subject: Proposal: Synced Music Listening Feature on Spotify

Dear Spotify Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share an innovative idea that I believe would greatly enhance the user experience on your platform.

In today's world, many of us maintain relationships across distances, whether due to work, study, or other commitments. One of the challenges faced by couples and friends in long-distance relationships is finding ways to stay connected and share experiences despite physical separation.

To address this, I propose the implementation of a synced music listening feature on Spotify. This feature would allow users to listen to music simultaneously with their partners or friends, regardless of their locations.

Here's how it could work:

1. **Synced Playback**: Users would have the option to initiate a synced playback session with one or more of their Spotify contacts. This session would enable them to listen to the same song or playlist in perfect harmony, regardless of their geographic locations.

2. **Real-Time Interaction**: During the synced playback session, users could engage in real-time interaction through text or voice chat, fostering a sense of togetherness and shared experience.

3. **Control and Flexibility**: Each user would retain control over their playback preferences, allowing them to pause, skip, or adjust the volume independently. However, the synchronized playback ensures that everyone hears the same segment of the song at the same time.

4. **Customizable Experience**: Users could personalize their synced listening sessions by creating themed playlists or choosing specific songs to share with their loved ones, enhancing the emotional connection and intimacy of the experience.

I believe that implementing this feature would not only cater to the needs of users in long-distance relationships but also appeal to a broader audience seeking new ways to connect and share meaningful experiences through music.

Thank you for considering this proposal. I am confident that a synced music listening feature would distinguish Spotify as a pioneer in fostering connections and enriching the lives of its users.

Best regards,
AHAMED

Hi there @AMDTHEAHAMED,

Welcome to the Spotify Community!

A similar feature already exists in the app: you can start a Jam with your friends and listen to Spotify together, whether in-person or virtually! More info here.
