\"Spotify<\/p>\n

Our music collections have come a long way recently. We\u2019ve come all the way from vinyl records and 8-tracks to constant access to almost limitless collections of music from around the world. We can now hear a song on the radio, internet, or wherever else we discover new tracks and then listen to them whenever and wherever we want via online streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just us though, is it? We\u2019re not the only ones listening to the music we love. No, we\u2019ve all got at least one of those friends who always has a tune they want you to hear. Music is a very personal thing, but it is also very much a social experience you share with your friends and family. In recognition of music\u2019s social side, Spotify is working on a great new feature that will put everybody in charge of the party.<\/p>\n

New Spotify ‘Social Listening’ feature allows friends to control the Now Playing playlist together<\/h2>\n

Thanks to top tech tipster Jane Manchun Wong<\/a>, we\u2019re able to bring you news of a new exclusive Spotify feature the streaming service is currently testing on its employees. On a recent dive into the code of Spotify\u2019s Android app, Manchun Wong has found a new feature that gives friends real-time control over the Now Playing playlist.<\/strong> This is similar to the collaborative playlist feature, but all additions will play out as they happen, rather than being stored in a playlist for later use.<\/p>\n
