Listen Together does not sync up properly with listeners immediately. The host starting a song by either clicking play on the track or skipping to it works as expected; the listener will start the same song. However letting a song play to completion in a playlist and going to the next track, regardless of shuffle status, will restart the last played song for the listener instead of moving to the new song that the host is starting.
For example:
Host starts Track 1
Listener follows and starts Track 1
Host lets Track 1 play to completion, and Track 2 starts
Listener lets Track 1 play to completion, and Track 1 restarts
Host skips to Track 3
Listener follows and starts Track 3
I've also observed where if there is a delay between playback time on the Host and Listener (host is several seconds ahead of the listener) then when the song completes and moves to the next track on the Host it will restart early and not finish the track completely for the Listener.
I'm setting up a Listen Together party between myself and my SO who's currently in Australia so there's always latency between things we do online.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a Listen Together party
Have the host play a track by clicking it directly
Let the song play to completion
Skip to a new song
Anything else?
I attached console logs of the host/client when a new song starts by letting the last song play to completion
Listener Console when a song completes on the Host
