Users playing a song isn't representative

It never deletes user's of the list. We should make use of some sort of polling to make sure user is actually still playing the list or logged in, otherwise remove the user.

Something like

could be a good starting point

Just log a time stamp . No polling

Sorry, I didn't mean polling; the "howmanypeoplearelooking" solution is about monitoring the "socket close" event from somewhere deep inside the core of Meteor and then mapping it to one of the userIds.
I think that's pretty clever, when you're disconnected obviously you can't be playing any songs.

So this part:

 socket.on('close', Meteor.bindEnvironment(function () {
            People.remove({
                connectionID: socket.id
            });

is where they basically remove a user from a collection based on the socket.id.
