Synchronized group music listening

This cluster comprises web-based and self-hosted tools for synchronized group music listening, enabling shared queues, voting, real-time chat, and cross-device playback sync. The pre-index dated history shows two isolated early arrivals (2011 and 2016) and a recent cluster of four entries between October 2025 and March 2026. Traction among dated members is led by navidrome-music-room (4 stars), with fishmusic (2 stars) and downbeat (1 star) behind.
