The party jukebox
in your browser. Your guests are the DJ.
Juqed Web turns one computer and your Apple Music account into the sound system for your event. Your guests request songs from their own phones and vote on them – no app, no account, no installation.
- Nothing to download – not for you and not for your guests
- No shared Wi-Fi needed
- Free to try, no payment details
What is Juqed Web?
Juqed Web is a jukebox that runs entirely in the browser. You create an event on web.juqed.com and share a link or a QR code. Your guests open it on their own phones, search the Apple Music catalogue, add songs to the playlist and vote on what everyone else requested. Whatever has the most votes plays next – played through your own Apple Music account, right in your browser window.
There is nothing to install, neither for you nor for your guests. There is no rig to build and no extra device to connect. The computer you are sitting at is the sound system.
No download
Juqed Web is a website, not software. Open the address, sign in, start – on Windows, macOS or Linux.
No account for guests
Your guests download nothing, register nowhere and hand over no details. They type in a name and they are in.
No shared Wi-Fi
Everything runs over the internet. Whether your guests are on Wi-Fi or using mobile data makes no difference.
The full catalogue
Requests come from the entire Apple Music catalogue – around 100 million tracks, not one playlist prepared in advance.
From an empty room to a full dance floor.
A few minutes sit between “let me try this” and the first song – no setup, no configuration, no manual.
Sign in with your email address
You get a six-digit code by email – no password needed. Your account is created along the way; there is no separate registration step.
Create an event and share it
One click gives you a six-digit event code, a QR code, a guest link and a ready-made A4 poster as a PDF to print. That is all your guests need to join in.
Start the player and connect Apple Music
On first start you sign in once in Apple's own window. We never see your Apple ID or your password. After that the player plays in that tab.
Your guests take over
Requests come in, the votes sort the playlist, the Auto DJ fills the gaps. You can watch – or step in at any time.
Phone out, song in, done.
Your guests scan the QR code or type in the six-digit event code. The browser opens, they pick a name – and from then on they have a say. No download, no sign-up, no email address.
- Search the Apple Music catalogue and request songs
- Vote on what everyone else requested
- See live what is playing and what comes next
- Works on any smartphone, Android or iPhone
So that the loudest person in the room does not decide the music, requests that have waited a long time move up by themselves. That way the quieter guests get their turn too.
Your guests choose the music. You set the frame.
Letting everyone join in is not the same as losing control. What may be requested, how often, and what must never play is up to you – at any time, even mid-event.
The Auto DJ fills every gap
When nothing is requested, Juqed Web keeps playing on its own – there is no awkward silence. Where it refills from is up to you:
- From the event so far – matching what has already played
- By genre – you set the direction
- From your own Apple Music playlists
- From curated collections – put together for every kind of occasion
- DJ mode – the requests set the direction, the order follows the mood
Blocklist
Add artists or terms that must not play. They cannot be requested, the Auto DJ will not play them – and they do not even show up in your guests' search.
Fair rules
A wait between two requests, a maximum of open requests and votes per guest, no voting for your own request, no title twice in the list. Nobody hijacks the playlist.
Step in yourself
You search the same catalogue as your guests, drop songs into the playlist or play them right away. Skip, pause, reorder – whenever you like.
Gentle transition
Set how long the current song fades out before the next one starts. No hard cut in the middle of a chorus.
History
Everything that has played in this event is listed, newest first. Handy when someone asks what that one track earlier was called.
Poster to print
A ready-made A4 sheet as a PDF: QR code, event code and a short three-step guide. To pin up, lay out or pass on.
Anywhere more than one person wants a say.
There is almost always a computer somewhere. In the living room, behind the bar or in the clubhouse – wherever music should play and people should have a hand in it, Juqed Web fits.
Birthdays and house parties
The laptop is by the speakers anyway. Instead of one person managing the playlist all night, everyone requests for themselves – and your hands are free.
Weddings
The grandparents want one thing, the cousins want another. Instead of a fixed set list the party itself decides what plays next. Nobody has to host the music.
Club and village festivals
One computer at the bar, one printed poster on every table. The blocklist keeps out whatever does not belong at a family event.
Company parties and the office
Music nobody feels left out of – and nobody has to explain why their playlist is the one running. The vote takes care of that.
Bars, cafés and restaurants
The computer behind the counter is running anyway. Guests get a say without having to approach the staff – and the blocklist keeps the house style intact.
Youth clubs and sports clubs
No device anyone has to bring along and pack up again. One account, one link, and the sound system belongs to everyone – under rules you set.
What you need to bring.
Two things – no more. And your guests need nothing but their phones.
A paid Apple Music subscription
Playback runs through your own Apple Music account. Without an active, paid subscription Apple does not allow full tracks – that is Apple's rule, not a setting on our side.
We do not supply music: Juqed Web controls playback, the content comes from Apple through your account. Your guests need no subscription of their own.
A computer that stays on
Windows, macOS or Linux with an up-to-date browser – Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari are proven. The tab with the player has to stay open and the computer awake while music is playing.
A phone will do at a pinch, but it is risky: locking the screen or switching tabs often interrupts playback. For a whole event a computer is the safe choice.
And your guests?
A smartphone with an internet connection and a browser. Nothing else – no Apple Music, no app, no account, no email address.
Trying it out costs nothing.
The free tier has every feature – requests, voting, blocklist, history and all five Auto DJ sources. Only time is limited: an event runs for one day, playback for three hours, counted from the first song and once per account. Setting things up and trying them out costs none of it, and you need no payment details.
Anyone who needs to work without those limits takes Juqed Gold – by the week, by the month or by the year. Your events then run with no end date until you end them yourself, and playback is not limited. You can cancel any time, with no notice period.
Frugal, on purpose.
Your guests create no account and hand over no email address – only the name they appear under in the playlist. We show no advertising and sell nothing on. The servers are in Germany, at Hetzner Online GmbH.
End the event and the playlist, the history and your guests' requests are gone. Delete your account and the account is gone too – confirmed by email, with no questions about why. The details are in the privacy policy.
Questions that come up the first time.
Do my guests need an app?
No. Your guests open a link in the browser on their phone – via the QR code, the guest link or the six-digit event code. They pick a name and can request songs and vote straight away. There is nothing to install and no account to create, neither with us nor with Apple.
Do I have to install anything?
No. Juqed Web runs entirely in the browser. You open web.juqed.com, sign in with your email address and create an event. There is nothing to download and nothing to set up.
Why do I need an Apple Music subscription?
The music comes from your own Apple Music account. Without an active, paid subscription Apple does not allow full tracks to play – that is Apple's rule, not a setting on our side. You sign in once in Apple's own window; we never see your Apple ID or your password.
Does Juqed Web run on Windows and Linux?
Yes. Juqed Web is tied to no manufacturer and runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari are proven in current versions. The browser has to allow playback of protected content – with an up-to-date browser that is the normal case.
Does everyone have to be on the same Wi-Fi?
No. Everything runs over the internet. Your guests can be on Wi-Fi or on mobile data, mixed and changing through the evening. Only your computer needs a stable connection, because that is where the music plays.
What happens when nobody is requesting anything?
Then the Auto DJ takes over and keeps playing. Where it refills from is up to you: from the event so far, by genre, from your own Apple Music playlists, from curated collections, or in DJ mode, which decides the order by mood instead of by votes.
Can I block certain songs or artists?
Yes, with the blocklist. Anything listed there can neither be requested nor played by the Auto DJ, and it does not show up in your guests' search. You can change the list at any time, even mid-event.
How do I stop one person taking over the event?
With the fair-use rules: a wait between two requests, a maximum of open requests and votes per guest, no voting for your own request and no title twice in the list. On top of that, requests that have waited a long time move up by themselves, so the quieter guests get their turn too.
Does the computer have to stay on the whole time?
Yes. The music plays in the browser tab where you opened the player. Close it, or let the computer go to sleep, and the music stops. While the player is in the foreground Juqed keeps the screen awake by itself; against the computer sleeping, a setting in your system's power management helps.
What does Juqed Web cost?
Trying it out costs nothing and needs no payment details: the free tier has every feature, an event runs for one day and playback for three hours, once per account. To work without those limits there is Juqed Gold, available by the week, the month or the year and cancellable at any time with no notice period. Current amounts and all the details are under Pricing and refunds.

Open the address, sign in with your email, create an event – and share the link. Trying it out costs nothing.
Juqed also comes as an app for iPhone and iPad and for the Mac.
