Spotify is reportedly working on a new feature that would be the digital equivalent of you and a friend sharing the same headphones to listen to music together.

It’s already possible, of course, for users of the streaming music giant to keep up with what their friends are listening to and stocking their playlists with. App researcher Jane Manchun Wong, however, has found that Spotify appears to be testing a real-time sharing — meaning, you and your friends could soon have a joint listening session.
Spotify’s new feature will allow you to collaborate with friends and listen music together. Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming app at the moment and the company is working hard to make sure it stays that way. With streaming apps from companies like Google and Amazon, it’s tough for Spotify to maintain their position. To ensure that the company retains its position, Spotify is working on several exclusive features, some of which have been already implemented in the app. With Spotify, you can listen to music and play millions of songs and podcasts for free. Stream music and podcasts you love and find music - or your next favorite song - from all over the world. Discover new music, albums, and podcasts. Search for your favorite song, artist, or podcast. Enjoy music playlists and an unique daily mix made just for you. Make and share your own.
For now, this so-called “Social Listening” feature that Spotify is testing is a queue of tunes that participating friends can all add songs to and listen to, though there’s been speculation today this could be tweaked to eventually let everyone share a listening session, as well.

Jane reverse engineers popular mobile apps and frequently scoops tech publications with news about updates and features that she quietly finds to be in the works — in fact, often scooping the companies themselves, before they’re ready to announce what they’re working on.
The prototype that Spotify is using for this feature shows the number of friends currently listening to a playlist, and the idea is that you would either scan a code or open a link to gain access to that playlist.

A Spotify spokesperson told TechCrunch, when asked about this feature, that “We’re always testing new products and experiences, but have no further news to share at this time.” The site goes on to note that Spotify already offers playlists that friends can collaboratively add to, they just don’t have the real-time sharing element that’s envisioned with this new feature.
A feature like this could spur increased usage on a number of fronts, such as via extended listening sessions which would of course help on the advertising side. Promoting increased usage among friends might also serve as an unconscious spur to make sure everyone has the app within a friend circle, while even more importantly the feature could help Spotify pull away a little bit from rivals like its closest competitor, Apple Music.
Spotify recently updated its integration with Facebook, allowing a more social listening experience.
Now, we all know that I'm a huge fan of social music..but I almost fell out of my chair when I realized that Spotify/Facebook had updated their user-interface in a REALLY cool (and useful) way!
Want to know how it works?
Simply go to Facebook and check out your chat bar (the giant vertical bar on the right side of your screen). Now..see if anyone is listening to anything (you'll know because there's a handy little music icon to the left of the 'available to chat' green circle.
(Ben is the one listening to music..obviously)
Next, hover over the person in the chat bar, and you'll see a nifty little pop-up showing you exactly what they're listening to!

(The Shins..nice.)
If you click 'Start Listening' (and assuming you have Spotify downloaded), Spotify will open and you'll start listening to the music in REAL TIME with the person. At the same time, a chat will open so that you can talk to the person you're listening with.
There's no limit to the number of people who can listen together, making this a great way to share music with your friends, or to DJ for each other at work.

Keep in mind..your friend WILL be notified when you start listening with them (a huge disappointment for all the Facebook creeps out there), so be warned.

Happy Listening!
