Juqed

Song requests from your own music files.

Share folders from your computer and your guests request songs from them — including the music you cannot stream anywhere: the recording from that concert, the band from the next town over, the 2004 remix.

Why it exists

The songs that stop the room.

Streaming has almost everything. Almost. What is missing is rarely mainstream and almost always the thing somebody is attached to: the song from the wedding video, the take from the rehearsal room, the album never pressed again, the track that exists only on a CD from a stall at a village fair.

At a party those are not the tracks that play in the background. They are the ones that make somebody look up and ask: where did you get that? Until now nobody could have asked for one — it was in no search at all.

Trying it costs nothing and asks for no payment details.

How it goes

Pick the folders. Wait a moment. Done.

You show Juqed where your music lives and go make a coffee. When you come back, the library is there for your guests to choose from.

For them nothing changes: they type a title, get a list, request something. Whether the hit came from Apple Music or from your hard drive is written nowhere — and that is the whole point.

What stays with you

Your music stays your music.

The files never leave your computer. Nothing is uploaded. Playback runs straight from the browser in which you picked the folders — the music takes the same short route it takes in any other player on your desk.

Six details per track reach us, so your guests' search finds something: title, artist, album, genre, year and length. Nothing else — no cover art, no path to your folders. If a file carries no details, we use its file name and the name of the folder it sits in instead.

And even that is on loan: it belongs to the one event and is deleted along with it.

Alongside Apple Music

In addition, not instead.

Both sources run at the same time and appear in a single search list. The whole Apple Music catalogue stays exactly where it was — your library sits next to it.

The Auto DJ reaches into both when the requests run dry. It notices which corners of your library the evening has been running on and leans the same way. If you would rather it kept its hands off, one switch turns that off: your files then play only when a guest asks for them.

Where to find it

In Juqed Web, on the event page.

The section is called “Your own music” and sits with the event's sources in Juqed Web. Click “Add folder”, the browser asks for permission once, and the rest runs by itself.

You need Chrome, Edge or another Chromium browser for this.

Common questions

What people ask about their own music.

Which files can I use?

MP3, M4A and AAC, plus FLAC, OGG, Opus and WAV. Anything your browser cannot play — WMA, for instance — is skipped during the scan and counted for you, so you know why the number is smaller than your file count.

Why only in Chrome or Edge?

Because only Chromium browsers can reopen a folder you granted once after the page reloads. In Safari and Firefox you would have to pick it again every time — and if the page reloads mid-event, the music stops.

Can my guests tell where a track came from?

No. Both sources sit in one list, and nothing about a hit reveals whether it came from Apple Music or from your hard drive. The same song from both sources appears once, not twice.

What happens to my catalogue after the event?

It is deleted along with the event. For the next party you pick the folders again. Your files on the drive are never touched.

Can I open the player on another computer?

You will see the catalogue there, but it cannot play — your files are on the other machine, and Juqed says so. Either open the player again where you scanned, or scan the folders on the new computer as well; your guests keep their requests either way.

How much fits in one catalogue?

How many tracks you can scan depends on your tier. The number is shown in Juqed Web before you pick the first folder.
