Motivation |
 Sharing earphones is romantic. Especially for a couple, sharing earphones is a wonderful thing because two people in the same place listen to the same music at the same time. While listening to the music, they can read each other's facial expressions, watch each other's nodding, sing along and talk about how they like music instantly. Conversation brings new inspiration and they know exactly which song they should listen to next. This whole process gives them memorable moments because it's about two people getting to know each other's musical tastes and understanding their emotions.

Listen to the same music at the same time even if you are not in the same place. Press "play" in one computer and it wil be played in two computers connected online.
4. Playful Playlist Visualization
Play with balloons floating around in the screen. A balloon stands for one song. It floats like the song and looks like the song. It shows you all informations of the song and your partner's review when you grab it. Balloons shiver when your partner hums a melody and taps a rhythm on a mouse.
