A social listening experience showing shades of Turntable.fm,  
LetsListen users can store and play their music library online and then notify  
their friends via Facebook, Twitter and Google+ to join their room where  
everyone hears the same music at the same time. Room guests can request what songs  
they’d like to hear next, and can even give DJs songs from their own collection  
– all while having the ability to chat with anyone in the room.

“Users can create their own rooms, drop in on friends rooms, or  
just explore public rooms to find new music and cool people,” said founder [Cole](http://twitter.com/coleflournoy?ref=hypebot.com)  
[Flournoy](http://twitter.com/coleflournoy?ref=hypebot.com). “They can sit in and listen with others in the room, share some of  
their own music, suggest songs to the room owner, or start their own room where  
they have complete control over what plays and if other people can  
enter. LetsListen also gives users full access to listen to  
their music library privately, as is typical with standard music lockers.”

The platform’s SoundCloud search integration allows users to build  
their library  
with free tracks pulled from SoundCloud and then listen to those with friends  
in real-time. The new Google+ Hangouts app integration allows users to  
listen and share music together face-to-face (up to 10 friends) on a Google+  
Hangouts group video chat.

LetsListen works nicely as a functional cloud music  
locker, but it’s clearly the social aspects at play that provides its real  
draw. The fact that at any point a user can turn a private music experience  
into a public one is definitely a cool concept. Instead of the cute avatars we  
saw with Turntable.fm, users can actually hangout face-to-face, which is a nice  
personal touch when it comes to the sharing of musical tastes.
