Contemporaneous media sharing and distribution

摘要

Aspects include systems and methods to contemporaneously share and distribute media or content. Media sharing may have a plurality of configurations, comprising a plurality of computing devices, a media-sharing server, and a media server connected over a network. In an embodiment, a DJ may broadcast media or content received from a media server over a media-sharing server for a Listener to listen contemporaneously. A DJ may be made available to a Listener in a variety of ways, including permissions to connect to a specific user, proximity, or popularity. In an additional embodiment, contemporaneous may not necessarily mean simultaneous, but may instead be defined by listening to media or content in the same order and within a certain time period of the DJ. In a further example, the media-sharing server may act as a broker for a Listener to purchase or replay media or content from a third-party media seller.
