Problems solved by technology

The net result is that it has never been easier to listen to music on the go either in an individual or group capacity.

The curation of music into playlists or other queues of specific songs is well established but this was often driven by a limitation of access to content as opposed to consumers having too much choice.

However, such party-goers could only listen to the music that was physically present at that party.

Such limitations prohibited the communal enjoyment of music.

Another limitation of this approach was that the music played was typically dictated by the per
