Socialise BrainzPlayer by allowing people to listen along with users who are currently listening.

Essentially this is just a 'play' button, that syncs your playlist with that of another user, and displays the number of users currently syncing:

Showing the number of other listeners is important! It's what makes it social.

To allow influencers/tastemakers etc to be surfaced, and to give this feature an 'in', we should also add a new sidebar widget to Feed > My Network + Global. Allowing users to find friends currently listening, and also to discover the top current 'DJs' across LB:

Note that this is a relatively simple feature suggestion, relative to what it could be - for instance this does not require a separate page or support communally-edited playlists etc. It could be cool to browse 'DJs' by genre etc, and lots more. Those features would be cool to have but I've tried to keep this ticket to what I think the core functions are to make this work.
