Kidding aside, one feature I really like about Juicebox is that it will play songs that have been previously added to the queue. One problem I had with turntable.fm and plug.dj was that it required a lot of energy to keep the music going (you have to continually keep adding songs to the queue). On Juicebox, I can just join my room and I can enjoy music without too much hassle.
Juicebox is a great way to share your music with others. You can create rooms, add songs, and share the URL with others, and they will be synced to the same song as you when they join. It's built on React, Node.js, and Firebase. I've been working on this for fun for the past few months, and I'm hoping to hear some feedback from the HN community.
When I clicked on the link, it brought up a page that was already playing a song. I tried to pause it and couldn't. I had to look for the volume control instead?
Recommendation: hover over a chat message, see which song was playing when the message was sent. Most of the messages are referencing the current song, so most value is lost at the end of the song.

Thanks for checking it out!
Why can't I pause the song?
