Here&#8217;s what they say on their page:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Blicko began when we noticed a problem in the way music is consumed and experienced in groups. What tends to happen is that people crowd around the music device and interrupt each others songs. To solve this we have created a digital take on the traditional jukebox. With the Blicko music box hooked up to your speakers and Wi-Fi you and everyone around are in control of what\u2019s playing. You can access the box from your smartphone, tablet or PC. Blicko supports a variety of music streaming libraries, such as Spotify, WiMP, YouTube, and SoundCloud.<\/p>\n<p>The Blicko music box plays songs from a queue that can be reached by a simple URL. With our intuitive web-interface you can control the box from any device with a browser. By sharing the URL to your friends, several people can collaboratively select music by queueing and voting on tracks. Users can identify themselves with social network logins and choose to share their activity in real time.<\/p>\n<p>As an administrator you can also schedule playlists and playback events, as well as distribute administrative rights and set different levels of user interaction. The box\u2019s history can easily be exported as a playlist for your favorite music library. Our servers keep track of what all boxes should be playing and makes the data available for you on the web. This makes it simple to synchronise several boxes on different locations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The whole system runs on a Raspberry Pi in a rather attractive case.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/194422431\/blicko-a-new-social-music-experience\">You can see the rest of the information on their Kickstarter page here<\/a>\u00a0and you can read some more on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blicko.com\">blicko.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sweden-based Blicko team have just launched a Kickstarter to support their hardware\/software project which is a jukebox-style music playing system.
