Spotify has announced a new feature called Jam, which allows users to create and join collaborative playlists with their friends. Jam is designed to make listening to music more social and interactive, as users can add, remove, and vote on songs in real time. Users can also chat with their friends within the app, share their reactions, and discover new music together.

Jam is part of Spotify's efforts to personalize the music streaming experience for its users, as well as to foster a sense of community among music lovers. Jam is based on the idea that music is more enjoyable when shared with others, and that users can benefit from the diverse tastes and preferences of their friends. Jam also aims to help users discover new music that matches their mood, preferences, and context.

To use Jam, users need to create a playlist and invite their friends to join. They can choose to make the playlist public or private, and set the permissions for adding and removing songs. Users can also join existing playlists created by their friends or by other Spotify users. Once in a playlist, users can see what songs are playing, what songs are queued, and what songs have been added or removed by other users. They can also vote on songs to move them up or down the queue, or skip them altogether. Users can chat with their friends within the app, send emojis, stickers, and gifs, and see what their friends are listening to.

Jam is currently available for Spotify Premium users in select markets and will be rolled out to more regions in the coming months. Spotify hopes that Jam will enhance the music streaming experience for its users, and make it more fun, engaging, and social.
