What is Soundrop?
Soundrop is an online collaborative music listening platform launched in 2012. It allows groups of listeners to join custom listening rooms where they can chat, vote on music, and listen to synced playlists streamed from SoundCloud or YouTube.
Some key features of Soundrop include:
- Ability to create shared playlists that listeners can contribute songs to
- Listeners vote on what songs get played next
- Chat room for each listening room to discuss the music
- Sync playback so everyone hears the same song at the same time
- Free ad-supported tier as well as a paid subscription option
- Apps available for iOS, Android, and desktop web browsers
- Integration with streaming platforms like SoundCloud and YouTube
Soundrop aims to recreate the social experience of listening to music together in physical rooms. The voting and chat features let groups collectively control the playlist queue and share reactions. It's well-suited for parties, shared workspaces, or listening with friends online.
