The present invention details a novel application of wireless networking
and digital music technologies to achieve coordinated and synchronized
music playback among peer listeners connected by wireless ad-hoc
networks. Two or more listeners in local proximity allowed by short-range
wireless transmission can participate and listen to the same song at the
same time. Moreover, the present invention allows listeners in the
transmission range to discover each other through profile matching. A
high matching score may indicate similar preference or taste to a certain
music style thereby easily locating mutual interests, which would not
have been possible.
