Ask HN: What advanced office jukebox would you use?

1 pointsby oceanicianvor 16 Jahren2 comments

Assuming an office of 20+ people with varying tastes, varying adoption of last.fm and spotify, and a small mp3 archive, what would you use to make sure -the music doesn't stop -it reflects the people who are in the room's taste. -perhaps allowing for veto's. Maybe an equal number per employee? -maybe it could be prioritised with a random element, i.e. vote up like HN with the occasional random song from outside the top 20 that hasn't been played today.

Any thoughts? There's quite a few basic solutions out there, but must be something more advanced?

I believe that Apple's iPhone Remote app and iTunes already have something similar to this. You can vote for songs from ipad/iphone devices connected to a central itunes library that plays the music. http://www.apple.com/itunes/remote/

Nice idea, but it's a mix of ubuntu/mac/windows, so something web based would be ideal :)

Having a look through these:

Everything seems fairly basic on the collaborative/veto/encorporating others taste front at the mo though....

I maybe being blind?
