>Anyways, the employees at my gym just play Spotify Premium and are friendly enough to take requests.

Not a Spotify user so I don't know what I'm talking about, but it sounds like this might be a feature they could implement...some sort of "Jukebox mode," whereby anyone w/the Spotify app could make requests for the local area, given the right password (put on a whiteboard or something, the way we do for wifi).

I agree, I think there is a need for one of the big music streaming services to create a geo-fenced (or Wifi-fenced?) jukebox system. Can be used for bars, gyms, house parties, etc. Similar to Chromecast, but with filters to make sure the public doesn't troll the system. Such as:

a) Having a pre-made list of songs that users can select from. Something like a list of 1,000s of Top 40s going back a few decades, or a selection of the top 10 hits from a list of grammy-winning artists, being able to split the songs into genres and select certain genres, etc. The idea is to not allow users to submit songs that fits the atmosphere of the venue (e.g. prevent ambient music in a gym, only allow country in a southern bar, etc)

b) Preventing the same song playing within the same hour, and possibly preventing the same artist from playing ~3x in a row

c) Preventing users from submitting songs consecutively, such as 1 submission per every 30 minutes d) Monetize by allowing small fees to push your jukebox songs to the top of the queue ($0.99?)

There are public playlists that anyone can edit, which are cool if the people using them generally like the same sort of music. They might not work as well if the people have widely varying tastes.
