Describe the feature/enhancement

It would be a really great feature if you could listen to the same audiobook together with another user who is signed in on another device. When doing so audiobookshelf would give one user the playback controls and the audio is played simultaniously for both (or more) users.

Seconded, came looking for this. Frequently want to listen to audiobooks simultaneously, sometimes over long distance, with another person, occasionally stopping to discuss the book or just take a break. Similar to 'Watch Together' feature on some streaming services.

hi,
first of all great project, thank you!
Regarding the future for me the sufficient would be to see where other users are for particular book, preferably on the progress bar when I listen. And a button to "catch-up" with particular user would be just great. I de-sync with my family members a lot and then when we travel together it would be great to be able to listen together from the same spot. Also being able to discuss being in the same place sounds really neat.
Again, even without this its a great software.
