Abstract: A system for synchronized streaming of media includes a memory and a processor. The processor is operable to establish connections with user applications executing on a plurality of user devices. The processor is further operable to identify a list of user tracks associated with one of the plurality of users stored in the memory. The processor is further operable to stream tracks from the list of user tracks to each of the plurality of user applications synchronously such that each of the plurality of user applications plays the same tracks at approximately the same time. The processor is further operable to receive at least one comment from one of the computing devices. The processors is further operable to send the at least one comment to a remainder of the plurality of computing devices for display through the user applications.

Abstract: A system for creating a shared media streaming session includes a memory and a processor. The processor is operable to, for each user in a shared media streaming session, retrieve a user track list and user playback history associated with the user from the memory; filter the user track lists according to predetermined rules; combine the filtered user track lists to create a session segment; generate a pool of recommended tracks; and determine whether there are multiple users in the shared media streaming session. The processor may further be operable to determine whether the session segment complies with licensing rules, and add the session segment to a session track list to be streamed to users of the shared media streaming session.
