What is the idea behind Jukiota?

Jukiota turns your Spotify account into a jukebox. Imagine you organize a house party. Geuests can request songs by sending IOTA transactions and push them up the queue by donating IOTA.

How does Jukiota work?

Enter an IOTA address which will be used by your guests to send song requests. You can enter your own address to create a new playlist or keep the default address to use the public community playlist. Open your spotify player on any device, play a song and then pause immediately to activate your player. Switch to Jukiota and click "Start". You will be asked to allow access for Jukiota. Accept to proceed. If the given IOTA address contains existing song requests Jukiota will extract them into a playlist and start playing. Playlists are ordered by donated IOTA first, second by number of requests for the song and third by transaction timestamp. A qr code containing the address will be displayed. Guests can send song requests by scanning the code with trinity wallet, providing a Spotify song link in the message and specifying the donation value. For zero value transactions songs will be added to the end of the playlist. In trinity wallet the transaction should look similar to this:

Jukiota constantly monitors the address for incoming song requests and updates the playlist accordingly. Do not close the website during playback and only use Jukiota to control playback (pause, resume, skip).

How to find the link to a song?

If you are registered and logged in to Spotify, do the following:

Open Spotify and locate the song you wish to hear Click/Touch the more options icon in the Spotify player and select "Copy Track Link" or "Copy Spotify URI" Switch to trinity wallet and paste the link into the message field of your transaction

If you do not have a Spotify account, go to https://song.link:

Use the search field to find your desired song Choose the correct song from the result list and click on it From the song's details page copy the link behind the Spotify logo to your clipboard

Switch to trinity wallet and paste the link into the message field of your transaction

A Spotify link looks like this: https://open.spotify.com/track/7p8HVe22aGW1XtO1hoDHGo (Nena - 99 Red Balloons)

Can I use Jukiota at a public event?

Unfortunately, Spotify does not allow streaming at public events. The usage of Jukiota should therefore be limited to events with private character.

What can I add to a playlist?

So far you can add songs from Spotify. It is not possible to add albums, playlists, podcasts or anything else. I am considering to make podcasts possible in the future though.

Does Jukiota store my private data?

No. Jukiota runs inside your browser and does not submit your data to the server. We do not know about your addresses or songs. Your browser establishes a direct connection to the tangle/to Spotify and no server interaction is needed. Jukiota does not store any cookies. But of course, Spotify itself might store your data when using their service.
