Listening Room is basically a web-based chat room where you can upload and stream music to all participants. The creator, Abe Fettig, has an informative writeup about the progression of the site.
That's it at face value. But let's take it a step further. The potential here is huge.
What if you're a famous musician or producer? You broadcast to your loyal fans via Twitter and Facebook that you'll be on Listening Room at 3 p.m. EST and if they come join the chat, you'll share with them an exclusive track. Uh oh, the system shuts you out because 1.3 million people also want to 'chat' with Justin Beiber? Well, if you join today for a small monthly fee, you'll get faster service, downloads AND personalized alerts about when your favourite musicians log-in to chat and share.
