DopaBeat Guide
How Friends in Oxford Listen to Music Together
Quick answer
DopaBeat is the simplest way for people in Oxford 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.
Between the city that gave the world Radiohead and Foals and everything else Oxford is celebrated for, there's no shortage of moments worth a soundtrack. DopaBeat makes sure that soundtrack belongs to everyone present — same song, same second, on every phone and browser in the group.
Together in Oxford, even when you're apart
Some nights the group is on one couch in Oxford; other nights it's three homes and a train ride apart. DopaBeat covers both — a speaker carries the sound when you're together, and the synced web listen link carries it when you're not.
Joining is a five-second job
Nobody in Oxford should miss a session because joining was a hassle. DopaBeat offers three doors: scan the QR, type the short code, or open the web link in a browser — that last one needs no account and no install at all.
Everyone in Oxford gets a say
One playlist, many authors: every listener in Oxford 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.
