…is awesome.

We’ve been looking for a group playlist creator for a long time in the office — at some point we even kicked around building one ourselves. Using iTunes DJ we can each add songs to a playlist, vote up songs that other people add, and generally democratize our listening experience.

It’s not without shortcomings though — as far as I know you can only vote via the iPhone app. It would be really nice to be able to vote via an OSX widget or web based interface. Further, iTunes chokes on the huge library we’re pulling in from an external disk (as discussed here).

But overall, iTunes DJ has been an awesome way to listen to music in a group setting and keep all ears happy by giving everyone a voice.
