Shared music, one synchronized room.

← Back to jukebox

Getting started

  1. Enter your name. Your likes, votes, color, and other choices are linked to that username. Click your name at the top later if you want to switch users.
  2. The player follows the shared room. If your browser blocks autoplay, click the main ▶ Play button once; it will join at the time everyone else is hearing.
  3. Use the YouTube search box at the top-right to find or add music. The playlist is shared and remains on the server.
Like/lock and upvote are different. A like protects the song currently playing. An upvote changes a song’s playlist ranking.

Main playback controls

▶
Play / PauseStarts or pauses the shared room for everyone. When playback resumes, listeners synchronize to the same time.
♥
Like / LockLikes the current song and marks it as locked. Click again to remove your own like. The lock remains if somebody else still likes it.
⏭
SkipSkips immediately when the song is unlocked. If somebody likes/locks it, you receive a confirmation warning but may still continue.
↻
RepeatLoops the current song for the whole room until anyone turns repeat off.
⇄
ShuffleUses a persistent shuffled order that discourages recent repeats and clusters by the same artist. Manual song choices do not erase the remaining shuffle order.

Automatic locking

When two or more people are online, directly playing a song from the playlist likes/locks it for the person who played it. Adding a song to Play Next also locks it for the person who queued it when it begins. Automatic locking is disabled while only one person is online.

Playlist buttons

▶Play this song immediately. Double-clicking anywhere on its playlist row does the same thing. A warning appears before replacing a liked/locked song. After a manual selection, the existing Play Next list continues.
↑ / ↓Upvote or downvote the song. Votes are separate from likes and affect playlist ranking only while that voter is online. Hover over the arrows or score to see who voted. Adding a new song automatically gives it your upvote.
ScoreThe number between the vote arrows is the current online vote total. Offline users’ votes remain saved to their usernames but are not counted until they return.
+ / numberAdds the song to Play Next. The button changes from + to its queue number. Click the number again to remove it. Only the person who queued it can remove it.
×Deletes the song from the permanent playlist. A song queued by somebody else cannot be deleted until it leaves their Play Next queue.
Drag rowDrag the whole playlist entry to place it manually. A later vote or vote change can sort the playlist again according to the active scores.

The highlighted row is the current song. The playlist does not automatically move your scroll position.

Play Next

The compact PLAY NEXT panel lists songs that will play before normal playlist progression. It does not move those songs from their permanent playlist positions.

The two search tools

YouTube search and add — top-right of the page

Type at least two characters and pause briefly. Up to five YouTube results appear. Use + to add a result permanently, or ▶ to play it once without adding it. You can also paste a complete YouTube URL and choose Add or the standalone ▶ button beside the search bar. Click outside the results or press Escape to close them.

Play once: The selected video temporarily becomes the shared current track but never appears in the permanent playlist. If the current song is locked, you must confirm first. When the video finishes, Play Next continues; if Play Next is empty, normal playlist or shuffle playback resumes. One-time videos cannot be liked/locked or repeated.

Playlist search — beside “Playlist”

The rounded number shows how many songs are in the playlist. Click it to turn it into a search field that filters the existing playlist by title, uploader, or the person who added it. This search does not search YouTube.
