We’re not pitching you on a new music service to sign up for. For this one, you’ll use the music you already have.<\/p>\n

DROP is a new app, free from Jawbone, the makers of the wildly popular fitness trackers we love<\/a><\/strong>. It relies on the music you already have on Spotify, iTunes, or Rdio, but lets you enjoy it all in a new way. At the most basic level, it shuffles your songs (and playlists) and lets you listen to them in a new order. On a more exciting note, it lets your friends choose specific songs to “drop” on you at any given time.<\/p>\n

Well, while you’re using the app, of course. It won’t barge in like a wrecking ball and start blaring Miley Cyrus while you’re in a meeting with your boss.<\/p>\n

DROP will run on its own, but the real fun comes when you connect it to Twitter — and when your friends do, too. They can queue up a song for you by tweeting something like this:<\/p>\n

@mbchp drop Talk Dirty<\/em><\/p>\n

Tweeting this would “drop” Talk Dirty by Jason Derulo on me, @mbchp. If the song you’re looking for shares its name between multiple artists, you can be specific and include their name at the end. A la:<\/p>\n

@brandik drop Talk Dirty by Jason Derulo<\/em><\/p>\n

Tweeting this would “drop” the same song on our editor, Brandi Koskie. Please do it repeatedly.<\/em><\/p>\n

While DROP could be used in many different ways (think road trips, long days at the office, a few hours at the beach, a house party or social gathering), we thought of its most obvious use: crowd-sourcing your workout jam. It finally gives a practical way for those who answer the relentless question “What are some good workout songs<\/a><\/strong> I can listen to?<\/em>” a way to share their recommendations, and<\/em> a way for you to discover new music in the process.<\/p>\n

Try it out. It’s free, and currently works on iPhones and iPads. Here’s the link: DROP App in the iOS App Store<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
