Looks pretty neat, reminds me of a private Turntable.fm, Plug.dj, or Soundtrack.io.

FYI: I managed to break the flow on my first try. I clicked on the number discs, thinking they were some kind of step indicator, and I ended up selecting the 3rd one. When I was prompted to pick tracks, I ended up stuck in a loop as I had not set track 1 or 2 and thus could not continue.

You should be able to click one of the first two discs to select them, then add a track from the search results. Thanks for the feedback though, it's interesting to know that you thought the discs were step indicators
Is it limited to three tracks?
It is. We felt that people were more likely to focus on the experience with a shorter, more curated set of tracks.
Curious, why did you limit it to just two people?

I would just want to send a playlist of three items out asynchronously to my friends, so they can listen whenever they want.

I think the point of the experience is to be in sync while listening, rather than just sharing a playlist with friends.
I get the idea of not creating a massive playlist but I think more than three would be good - I wanted to create a downtempo/ambient playlist and had at least seven tracks in mind. I think 7-9 would be a good number.
Works great! Would be awesome to add more tracks collaboratively once in the playlist.

It's kind of like twitch meets soundcloud. I like it. Give us a demo with more than 2 users.
Might want to disable script tags in messages.
ha! i've built a prototype of this same thing 3 or so years ago! (not over websockets tho).

nice job!

Nice! I've got a similar project currently in the pipes. I've noticed that the playlist can get pretty out of sync when one of the clients disconnects and reconnects, sometimes by a few minutes. But otherwise really well done.
