The loudest voice does not decide. The majority does.
Every request lands in the same list, and anyone can vote on anyone else's. Whatever sits at the top plays next. The running order sorts itself.
The list sorts itself.
A guest suggests a track, others vote for it. The more votes a request has, the further forward it moves. The track currently playing stays pinned at the top, however much is shifting underneath it.
That is what separates Juqed from a shared streaming playlist. There, whoever added last wins — here, what most people want to hear wins.
Because otherwise one person decides for everyone.
Without voting somebody has to choose. That is either the host, who then is not at their own party, or the guest who asks loudest. Both produce music that is not the room's.
So voting is not one feature among many, it is the whole point. Everything else in Juqed exists so that this principle still holds when it gets crowded, gets late, or someone overdoes it.
To keep voting fair.
- No self-voting. Whoever suggests a track cannot vote it up. Others have to — otherwise every request would arrive with a vote attached.
- Vote ageing. Requests that have waited a long time move up on their own, so the taste of people without a group of friends in the room gets its turn too.
- The playing track stays on top. However much is moving below it, you can always see what is on right now.
- Play now. Pull any request to the front instantly without switching voting off — for the first dance, the birthday song or the closing track.
A list that moves.
Your guests have nothing to learn: they see the list, tap a request, and they have voted. Tapping again takes the vote back.
The rules behind it are set in the event settings of Juqed Go and Juqed Web — see blocklist and fair use.
What people ask about voting.
Can a guest vote for their own request?
No, and that is deliberate. Other guests have to vote a request up for it to move forward.
Can I take my vote back?
Yes. Tapping the same request again removes your vote.
What happens to requests nobody votes for?
They do not disappear. Vote ageing pushes them upward over time so quieter guests get their turn.
Can I override the order as the host?
Yes. “Play now” pulls any request straight to the front, and voting carries on around it.
