Spotify Jam Feature Addition

Course: IAT 334 Interface Design

Description: 
What is Spotify Jam?
Users within Spotify can join Jams with other users and listen to the same songs at the same time regardless of where they may in the world. This feature already exists and is used by many Spotify users.

Proposed Feature Explaination
My feature that would enhance the Jam within Spotify is a feature to allow hosts and users within a Jam to better set their mood and create a more engaging vibe within the Jam.

The feature is a voting system for Spotify Jam that lets participants upvote or downvote queued songs. When more than 50% of people in a Jam downvote a song, the person who added it gets a notification with the option to remove it, turning silent disagreement and feelings into actionable feedback. Users will also be able to see vote history on any given song to promote transparency and add new songs if they remove an old one to help keep the queue full.
