Thank you @chrismessina for hunting us! With OutLoud, you'll always play music that best fits the crowd and the moment. You set up a playlist and have your friends add and vote for songs; the song with the most votes is played next.
Basically: No more "one person" deciding the songs that are played; everybody decides together, whether at your next party, at work with your colleagues, at your favorite bar / coffee shop, etc.
We focused on an insanely high-quality experience:
- Integration with Spotify and SoundCloud
- Super-fast: Everything gets updated instantly when someone adds / votes for a song
- Insanely reliable: We know - at a party, the music can never stop
- Free, no ads, no sign-ups
Making sure everybody can join the experience:
- iOS and Android version
- Web app with full guest-capabilities accessible through customized playlist link (see example created for Product Hunt at outloud.dj/phunt)
- TV app for everybody to rally around, can be projected via Chromecast
- Guests can add any Spotify song without needing an account, only the host needs one
We would love your feedback! Thanks!

I'll have a close look as I was a TT-fm junkie. But what I liked about TT was that others knew songs and artists I had never heard of... and often nobody in the room had heard of either. This forced a broader mind. If everyone in the room votes a song to play next, that seems to limit discovery. It's "group think" for music.
Interestingly, from a marketing standpoint, the masses may prefer that. So kudos for "targeting."
I will definitely explore. I'm a fan of anything in the shared music experience space. I just hope it's not "Apple" only right now. :-) - - - oh hey look... ANDROID! Niiiiice.
@jimcanto Thanks for the feedback. It's a great thought that we've been thinking about as well. Generally, people will vote for the songs they know/like hence, if those songs are played, they won't hear anything new. On the other hand, songs will be voted to the top that you may have never heard of. As a result, you'll hear new music that the people around you like best. This is I think pretty powerful and a more human-driven way of music discovery.
Look forward to any more feedback as you explore. And thanks for the Android shout-out! :)
