Abstract
A collaborative chat room media player may enable a user to create or join a virtual lounge for a group of remotely located members to share a media experience. The virtual lounge may include a media player, an interactive communication component (e.g., instant messaging, comment board, blog, etc.), and a collaborative music queue and/or playlist. The media player may provide and/or make available recommendations to the members of the group. For example, the members may populate a playlist with media content from their media library. The media player may then add recommendations to the playlist based on the groups interests (media content selection, media content ownership, etc.). The members may vote on the content in the playlist and influence, via collaboration, when (or if) a piece of media content is played to the group.
