System and method for syncing music

A system for simultaneously playing an audio file with a video stream, the system including:

• a studio facing system for accessing a first user's audio account on an audio service for storing and accessing audio files to be played by users and for initiating playback of a selected audio file to a first user's location, the first user and a second user having an account on the audio service;
• a web server for providing a video stream provided to the second user's location, the webserver including timing information identifying the video stream time when the audio file playback began at the first user's location;
• a participant facing system at the second user's location for accessing the second user's audio account on an audio service for storing and accessing audio files to be played by users, for accessing the web server to obtain the timing information, and for playing the video stream,
• the participant facing system monitoring the video stream timing information and initiating playback of the selected audio file at the second user's location so that the playback of the selected audio file begins at the same time relative to the video stream as playback of the selected audio file at the first user's location,
• wherein the timing information is a metadata timestamp of the UTC time when the video file was first recorded, the metadata timestamp stored on the webserver, the timing information being embedded in the video stream, the participant facing system in communication with the webserver and monitoring the metadata embedded in the video stream provided to the participant facing system, detecting the metadata, and initiating playback of the selected audio file at the second user's location when the video stream reaches the video stream time when the audio file playback began at the first user's location.
