The latest innovation tested on Spotify seems to be a shared queue: pieces of upcoming songs that you can listen to and edit with friends. Founded by renowned app expert Jane Manchum Wong, this "social listening" option builds on the shared playlists Spotify already has, but in this case, you and a group of other users can cut and modify a queue while read on a particular device. Some of the obvious uses for this program are house parties and road trips, where you can introduce your friends to your favorite indie rock music, high-speed jazz jams, freeform, or whatever you like. something else that fascinates you. Social listening works via a code that appears in the Spotify app: friends can scan this code on their own phone to participate, or you can share it through the usual channels. < p class="bordeaux-image-check">
Screenshots of the test screen (credit: Jane Manchum Wong @wongmjane) Spotify has yet to confirm that the feature is being tested, and there's no guarantee that it will ever see the light of day as part of the official Spotify app. At the moment, it seems that only Spotify employees are open. Of course, app developers are constantly testing new features. In general, we do not usually discover these tests. We'll have to wait and see if Social Listening gets support from Spotify in the end. This would certainly make it easier to share music in a community setting, assuming everyone was signed up for Spotify and not Apple Music or YouTube Music. Last month, we learned that Spotify was also testing a story for artists that borrowed the popular social sharing format from Snapchat and Instagram. App developers have also experimented with podcast recommendations. Via XDA Developers
