DopaBeat Guide
Listen to Music Together in Edinburgh With DopaBeat
Quick answer
DopaBeat is the simplest way for people in Edinburgh to share one live soundtrack — one host DJs, everyone else joins in seconds and shapes the queue, and every listener hears the same moment of the same song.
Being known for the Fringe, the world's biggest arts festival means Edinburgh understands shared experiences. DopaBeat brings that to music: friends join a party with a QR scan or web link, add songs from a huge catalog, and listen in perfect sync whether they're side by side or across town.
Together in Edinburgh, even when you're apart
Friends in Edinburgh don't need to be in the same postcode to share a listening session. One person hosts, the rest join from wherever they are, and the queue plays in lockstep across every device — the beat drop lands for everyone at once.
Joining is a five-second job
The host in Edinburgh shares one small thing — a code or a QR — and the whole group is in. App users scan; browser users click. Within seconds every guest has the same search box, the same queue, and the same vote as everyone else.
Everyone in Edinburgh gets a say
One playlist, many authors: every listener in Edinburgh can search a massive YouTube-powered catalog and drop tracks into the shared queue. Votes float the crowd's favourites upward, so what plays next is genuinely the group's decision, not one person's guess.
