Spotify lets up to five subscribers listen to shared playlist together – Sound and Vision – News

Anyway difficult to get sound synchronous, because of the speed of sound of just over 300 m / s. If you are in room A, and the speakers of room B are 12 meters away, you still have a time difference. speed = distance / time and you have a time difference of about 0.04 seconds.

If you are going to correct that 0.04 second, then you have everything in room A perfectly synchronized. The problem is: if you are in room B, the time difference is twice as big because of your own correction.

Multiroom produces reverberation with these small time differences, to solve this, you have to keep the rooms separated from each other in terms of sound, but if you do that, what is the added value of synchronizing?

Therefore, I am not such a fan of multiroom, it results in a reverb box. Therefore, I prefer to have the listening place in 1 room, nice and single room.
