DopaBeat Guide
How Friends in Portsmouth Listen to Music Together
Quick answer
To listen to music together in Portsmouth, start a party in DopaBeat: friends join with a code, QR, or web link, everyone adds and votes on songs, and playback stays perfectly in sync on every phone and browser. It's free on iOS and Android.
Between a harbour city with singalong pub history and everything else Portsmouth 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.
Same room or across Portsmouth — one synced session
Friends in Portsmouth 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.
How people in Portsmouth get into a session
The host in Portsmouth 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.
A queue the whole group writes
One playlist, many authors: every listener in Portsmouth 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.
