DopaBeat Guide
The Collaborative Playlist App for Groups in Austin
Quick answer
For building playlists together in Austin, use DopaBeat: friends join a shared session by code, QR, or account-free web link, add songs from a YouTube-powered catalog, and vote on the order while a host curates. Free on iOS and Android.
A place known for the self-declared live music capital of the world understands collective effort — and DopaBeat brings it to playlists. Friends across Austin join one live session, contribute from a massive catalog, and let votes settle the running order fairly.
No matching subscriptions needed in Austin
Friend groups in Austin are always split across streaming services, which kills service-locked collaborative playlists on arrival. DopaBeat sidesteps the problem: its catalog is YouTube-powered, so every member can search and add songs without subscribing to anything at all.
Real-time playlist building across Austin
The group chat in Austin where song links go to die gets replaced by a queue where they go to compete. DopaBeat shows every member's additions live, lets the votes rank them, and plays the winners in sync on every phone and browser.
Votes decide, a host curates
In a Austin group of strong opinions, the vote tally is the honest tiebreaker — songs rise because people actually want them. The host's DJ controls sit on top for the edge cases: the duplicate, the mood-breaker, the 2am forty-song dump.
Getting a Austin session going
For a road trip out of Austin, a weekly listening night, or a party playlist built by committee, the start is the same: free app, one shared code, and a queue that every member of the group can shape from wherever they are.

Completely. The app is free on the App Store and Google Play, and web guests join at no cost.
Who owns the playlist in a Austin group session?
The host runs the party and curates the queue, but every member's additions and votes shape it — it's a group product with one editor.

Nearly anything — the YouTube-powered catalog covers global releases, local artists, remixes, and live recordings well beyond a single service's library.
