@jonhicks I always preferred Spotify's earlier powerful music ecosystem over the more focused and beautifully designed competitor, Rdio. I don't use either today, for different reasons, heh.

@jonhicks I remember the apps. I remember them well. My favourite was #Soundrop and you could create public + private rooms with a shared playlist.

Anyone in the room could add songs and there was a #reddit-style upvote system to vote your fave tracks to a higher point in the queue.

This is how we used to manage the #music we streamed across the office at an old design agency I worked at.

Good stuff. A shame that #Spotify killed them all off.

A screenshot of the Dubstep room on Soundrop - showing 619 active listeners, a playlist with upvotes and a comment from a user in the chat which said WUB WUBW WUBW UBWUB WUBWUBWUBWUBW

@jonhicks I don't remember that at all... I don't remember it not being black either
