   I built https://www.JQBX.fm for this purpose. Not an exact clone but it’s my take on the “social listening” problem.

   It's not necessarily that the ads aren't effective but their reporting of ROI has been off in my experiences. I've been running attribution surveys on the e-commerce sites I own [1] and the results have never matched up with

   On site surveys have been effective for us[1]. Ultimately this is a super general question and it depends on: 1. What data you want to collect 2. Where you place your poll (if it's on site) 3. What questions you ask. [1] https:/&

   That sounds awesome! If you're interested it would be cool if you put on an event for us all on JQBX [1] one day :) shoot me an email if you want and I can set it up. https://www.jqbx.fm

   "Winter Dreams" by Fitzgerald is pretty great. It changed my perspective on wealth and has in general stuck with me for a long time: https://public.wsu.edu/~campbelld/engl494/winterdreams.pdf

   I built JQBX ( https://www.jqbx.fm ) so I think about streaming, money, and the law a lot. The industry is very focused on siphoning off as much cash from the musician as possible. That being said, in the age of streaming that see

   An anecdote: My father broke his collarbone (in a real bike) and I got him a peloton to be a safer replacement. After about an hour of introduction to the product he now uses it every day and so does my mother, who has never biked in her li

    With a large enough differential between customer #1 and customer #2 it becomes a lot of cash to leave on the table if you don't renegotiate. But I don't know the numbers and you're right to point out that everything could po

    Okay sure the full picture isn't all sunshine (I didn't say I'd buy the stock) but it's not bad news either. With the lions share of the streaming market and low churn rate I would expect they can negotiate some better d

    This is great news IMO. Spotify's platform is leagues better than apple music. Also I know they don't have the best track record w/ third party apps but Spotify also offers the most comprehensive API when compared to the othe

    Same preface (not exactly popular...yet) but the JQBX mobile apps: https://www.jqbx.fm are built with RN. The only "native" parts are a bridge for playing audio but I'm not sure if that's what you meant by &q

    Using your product daily is essential not only to help steer the ship on what to build but also to cue you in on what's buggy / inefficient. I have the good fortune of having a live chat interface (product is: https://w

    Yeah they don't have a Web API. They have a mobile SDK though so it would be possible for the iOS app (not sure about android) only at the moment.

    I want to do it but it's tricky since I would need 1. some sort of universal identifier for each track so I can keep everyone in sync 2. API access to search, play, pause and seek. TBH I'm not sure if that's possible but I&#x

    Thanks, I'm glad you're liking it the way it is now! I totally agree that the colors are in a slightly awkward place. The design sort of grew from where I originally started and now I think I need to find a different, maybe less s

    Hey- it still works the same way w/ multiple DJ's. I thought about adding another 'mode' for a single queue (similar to how soundbounce used to work) but it's put on hold for now while I clean up some of the other d

    Ah I think I see what you mean now- like a suggested activity window for each room. Cool idea, I'll add it to the roadmap. Thanks again :)

    by jqbx_jason 8y ago

    Thanks! You actually can do that already- I think I just need to make it more obvious. If you're an admin of a room you can 'broadcast' a message to all the people who have saved your room. The message gets sent via email to

    Have you tried clicking "Sync Audio" also what version are you using (Mobile app or Web App)? Feel free to shoot me an email jason[at]thebestagency.com if you want help troubleshooting.

    I think you'll like JQBX then! Re. YT & Soundcloud: I'm exploring it. My goal was to get everything feature complete w/ just Spotify to keep things focused. But once all the kinks get sorted out it's definitely on th

    by jqbx_jason 8y ago

    Thanks! Not a complete rewrite, but definitely a refactor of all the logic for playing audio and syncing audio between users (and some UI changes). I would also need to do a dive into each platform's API specifics and make sure they gi

    Thanks! Yeah I played around with ampme and sounds like their case as I remember it. Our use case is more for listening to music in sync with other people and voting / chatting in real time. You can also use it w/ colleagues not i

    Yeah they can- theres a comment somewhere that explains how. In short: Click the "Playlists" tab, select your playlist, click "Add Playlist to Queue"

    Yes I definitely want to make that integration work. As it stands it's a bit of a pain since it's not included in Spotify's connect API. I have a Sonos so I feel your pain. A quick fix (if you run OSX) is to download the Mac

    Feel free to shoot me an email jason[at]thebestagency.com if you have anything specific. At a high level a lot of the components end up being pretty different because the UI is naturally pretty different. They share some functions but the &

    Click the "Playlists" tab (center of the page on the website, separate tab on mobile) then click on the playlist you want and on the top right click "Add Playlist to Queue". And the playlist will get added to your queue.
