Streaming music is fantastic, but it can feel like a bit of a solo experience. Sure you can connect to one of the bestBluetooth speakers, but that’s not always an option. I have fond memories growing up of lending an ear of headphones to a friend on the school bus and listening to songs together, but that seems a distant memory now. Well, Spotify is bringing shared listening back with its newest feature, Jam.

Even cooler, you can actually host a jam session remotely with anyone who has Spotify across the globe. Maybe I’ve gone mushy but listening to the same song together even when hundreds of miles apart sounds quite romantic.

Of course, it’s still early days for this add-on so it’s a bit unreliable at times. We’ve had about a second of latency between the two devices (making it hard to sing along together) and the occasional failure for the non-host device to line up songs, but when it works it’s everything that’s great about music. There’s nothing quite like jamming out together.
