Ensemble: listen to music together

Have you ever been to a party where the speakers weren’t loud enough? Or worse, where there weren’t any speakers at all? Ensemble can help. Ensemble allows you and your friends to simultaneously play music on all of your devices (phones, computers, iPads, anything else) so that it sounds like an insanely loud distributed super-speaker. You can play any song, and it is synced perfectly!

This project won first place at the 2017 MIT Blueprint hackathon. It was created by Harshal Sheth, Andrew Sun, Kartik Singh, and Nihar Sheth.
