The streaming experience works for Premium subscribers and lets them invite their friends to add in tracks to a [communal playlist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songup) rather than requiring one person to call all the shots. This provides everyone with the ability to have their say with what music is being played, while also taking the pressure off individuals to make sure everyone can have their favorite tracks heard. Spotify Jam only requires users to have Bluetooth turned on and tap devices together to invite one another to add songs.
