Completely free! ⋅ No login required.
Listening Together
When meeting in person, listening to music together is easy. Online, however, it's a bit trickier. You can listen together by sharing songs or playlists – but if you want everyone to listen to the same song at the same time, you'll need a service that provides synchronized playback.
YouTube
YouTube is a fantastic platform for listening to music together, because most artists upload their work there for free. It's also in video form, so even more enjoyable to listen to.
If all your friends use Apple devices, you can try SharePlay. However, if a single person has an Android or is on their computer – You need a different solution, GroupTube, that works on desktop and mobile!

Spotify
Spotify is one of the world's most popular music streaming platforms. It now includes a feature called "Jam", allowing you and your friends to listen to music together in real time.
How to create a Jam depends on your device, so it's best to consult Spotify's Jam documentation for detailed instructions for your device. Whether you're on a smartphone, tablet, or desktop, it will help you create a collaborative listening session effortlessly.
Apple Music
Apple Music, unfortunately, does not have a built-in synchronized playback feature. Instead, you need to use SharePlay in conjunction with FaceTime to listen together. This approach not only requires an active FaceTime call during your listening session, but it also restricts users to Apple devices only, excluding those on Android or Windows.
