I love this! It would be awesome to have this on mobile to share music with a friend on a bus ride. It does seem a bit buggy - keep getting notified about 1, 2, 3, and 4 people listening to my stream even though I'm pretty sure they aren't. One other idea - since you already integrate with Twitter, would be cool if my live music playlist got tweeted out, similar to meerkat.

@fletchrichman we fixed a few bugs with the notifications in the latest update. What was the Twitter idea?
Fletcher Richman
@mortenjust I was thinking that it would be cool if whenever I start streaming on TwinJack, it tweets a link out so my followers can join.

Related want: I've always wanted the ability when working out (running or lifting weights) to have some type of hardware or software that allowed my workout partner and I to be listening to the same music while we worked out.

For some reason I have -1 listeners hahahaha. Also it's constantly sending me notifications that I have 0 listeners (I'm not streaming). Is this a known issue?
Patrick Rogers
Nice work. I wish it would follow the play head. Still cool!

@mrpatrickrogers It does now, with the latest update - thanks for the feedback

Thanks for the great feedback guys, please keep it coming! We definitely felt the Product Hunt effect on our servers today, but we should be ready for massive traffic now. We have an early beta of a mobile app, and will be looking for beta testers soon. Until then you can actually run the web version and lock your phone and it will even tell you who's playing on the iOS lock screen (although it seems you have to manually close Safari when you're done)

hey guys - with the latest update, Twinjack now also supports iTunes and Apple Music https://itunes.apple.com/app/twi...

this is very cool and works flawlessly. However, I am a bit concerned that I would be breaking the law by streaming my spotify..

@bopfger thanks for your feedback, it's much appreciated! You do not stream your Spotify directly by using Twinjack. We listen to what you play and stream the same to your listeners, through Youtube.

@jacob_funch @bopfger - Love the idea but I think that's still frowned up legally by the rights holders. Maybe under Section 8 of the Spotify Terms & Conditions? " Copying, reproducing, “ripping”, recording, or making available to the public any part of the Spotify Services or content delivered to you via the Spotify Services, or otherwise any making use of the Spotify Service which is not expressly permitted under these Terms;"

@timjahn @bopfger I'm not sure it violates anything because the title / artist of the music you're playing is public anyway via Spotify's profile stream. So if they're replaying the music on youtube (which, in an ideal world is an additional source of revenue and outlet for publicity for the creator), the artist doesn't lose out. Of course, youtube isn't perfect, but the burden falls on youtube to enforce copyright rules

@jacob_funch if I could, I would give you a second upvote. Great solution using Youtube!.. love it. @bopfger
Tim Jahn
@cwrichardkim @bopfger - They're broadcasting the music that you're streaming from your Spotify account onto YouTube. I'm not a lawyer or anything, but I imagine that's similar to public performance?

Brilliant idea, @jacob_funch! will definitely be using this.

You're in an office and someone plays music. Everyone can hear it. Why isn’t it that simple online? For us personally, we rarely have a chance to listen to music together. Morten is in California, an 11 hours flight away from me and the rest of his friends in Denmark. And that's why we built Twinjack.
