## Product facts

- Host uses a native iPhone app with an Apple Music subscription for full-song playback (no ads in the product experience).
- Guests join on mobile web via QR code or invite link. They enter a display name only—no account and no music-service login.
- Each prompted round: one song per participant, editable until playback starts. Picks stay private until staged reveal.
- Default reveal timing while a song plays: year at 5s, artist at 10s, album/artwork at 15s, title and contributor at 20s.
- Group feedback: likes plus majority-vote skips (after the 20-second reveal during prompted rounds). Host can skip immediately.
- Designed for in-person gatherings; late arrivals can still contribute while a round remains open.
- Primary audience: friends together tonight—not remote asynchronous playlists.
