JukeBox One brings people together through music. Create a room, invite your friends, and let everyone take a turn sharing songs from their designated Apple Music playlist. Each member takes a turn as Song Host—the person whose song is selected to play. Share your favorites, discover something unexpected, and make listening a group experience. CHOOSE HOW YOU PLAY • Normal: Take turns sharing songs through a rotating Song Host. • Voting: Vote for the next Song Host based on each member’s upcoming song. • Trivia: Answer questions to compete for the next Song Host spot. • Mini Games: Play games to determine who shares the next song. LISTEN TOGETHER Enable optional Synchronized Playback when creating any room type to play songs together across participating devices. Guests can choose whether their device participates from the first song and adjust their choice for upcoming songs. For synchronized listening, use your device’s built-in speakers, keep JukeBox One open, and maintain a reliable internet connection. Bluetooth, AirPlay, and wired audio connections may affect synchronization. Prefer one device playing the music? Leave Synchronized Playback off to listen through the Room Host’s device. BRING YOUR PEOPLE Add friends and favorites, find them easily among room members, and choose whether friends or favorites can join your room automatically. Room Hosts can approve join requests and manage membership. PICK YOUR PLAYLIST Designate an Apple Music playlist containing 3–50 supported songs.
