This document proposes using near field communication (NFC) check-ins to allow crowdsourcing of music preferences in public spaces. It describes a system where people could check in using their mobile devices near an NFC-enabled jukebox-like device to contribute songs. This could encourage social interactions while allowing groups to collectively influence the music played. An initial trial would be conducted and evaluated using ethnographic studies to determine the social and behavioral impacts of this novel approach to crowdsourcing music preferences in public spaces.

32. THE TRIAL
“It introduces new songs and I can find hidden gems”
“It will provide a wide and varied music styles anywhere it's
used. Good idea”
“I don't really see how this would benefit such events. Music
tastes are quite niche. Ice breakers and networking events are
surely purposed to bring people together through common
ground rather than unique differences”
“Not sure if there was a crowd of people standing around the
jukebox, with the size of the system I’m not sure if everyone
will be able to see it.”
“It would well in a conference setting or even freshers week.”
