The song request app nobody has to install.
Your guests scan a QR code, find their track and drop it into the queue. Everyone else votes on it, and whatever has the most votes plays next. No download, no account, no cost — on any smartphone, Android or iPhone.
Collect requests without becoming the DJ.
The moment music plays, the argument about it starts. "Can you put on …", "just one track", and before long your phone is going round the room. A song request app takes that role off you: the request no longer goes to you, it goes into a list that belongs to everyone.
What separates it from a shared streaming playlist is the voting. In an open playlist whoever added last wins. With Juqed, what most people want to hear wins — why that beats a single DJ.
How a request works with Juqed.
The guest scans
Point the camera at the QR code, tap the prompt — the web interface opens in the browser. The first time it asks for a name to show alongside their requests. That is all: no install, no account, no email address.
The guest requests
They search the full Apple Music catalogue – in Juqed Web also the folders the host has shared – and put their track in the queue. They need no streaming subscription of their own — playback runs through your account.
Everyone votes
Every request lands in the same list, and anyone can vote on anyone else's. Whatever sits at the top plays next. Requests that have waited a long time drift upward on their own, so the quieter guests get their turn too.
Letting people decide is not losing control.
The usual worry about a song request app is not the technology, it is the one guest who hijacks the night. There are four dials for that, and you set them before the first request arrives.
- Blocklist — artists, titles or keywords that do not play at your event. Neither requestable nor picked by the Auto DJ.
- Limit per guest — nobody fills half the queue on their own.
- Cooldown — the same track cannot come round twice in quick succession.
- Play now — pull any request to the front instantly without switching voting off. For the first dance or the closing track.
QR code song requests, from setup to recap.
The QR code is the whole way in. Where it sits decides how many of your guests take part.
- Before. Start the event, set your rules — blocklist, limit per guest, cooldown — and you have your QR code.
- Placement. Put it where people stand, not where they sit down once: the bar, the entrance, the tables. On a TV or projector, screen mode shows the code next to the current song and the next requests.
- During. Guests scan, request and vote. When the list runs dry, the Auto DJ keeps the music going.
- Every week. In a bar that runs night after night, the same code keeps working: with Juqed Gold in Juqed Go, events stay valid indefinitely and the QR code stays active.
- After. The event recap shows every track that played — to share with your guests, without a single guest name.
Wherever more than one person wants a say.
Song requests are not a party topic alone. The flow is the same everywhere; only the settings differ.
- Wedding — three generations, one event, and nobody has to play the DJ.
- House party and birthday — the aux cable stays where it is.
- Company event — the event belongs to everyone, not the loudest department.
- Bar and pub — requests switchable per shift, the Auto DJ carries the rest.
- Restaurant and hotel — a mood per zone and time of day.
The only question is: what plays the music?
Nothing changes for your guests — either way they scan the same QR code and land in the browser. What differs is only the device doing the playing.
Juqed Go — the iPhone plays
One device in the middle, share the QR code, done. Guests and host do not have to be on the same network. The music keeps playing in the background, so you can pocket the phone and use it for something else.
Juqed Web — the browser plays
Nothing to install, not even for you, and tied to no system: Windows, Linux, Mac. You open an address, sign in and create an event.
If your music sits on a hard drive as files, that is what Juqed for Mac is for. There every guest has to be on the same Wi-Fi — in exchange it needs no streaming subscription. All three editions side by side.
What hosts want to know first.
How do QR code song requests work?
You start an event and get a QR code. Guests point their phone camera at it, the request page opens in the browser, and they search for a track and send it to the queue. Everyone votes, and the top request plays next.
Can a bar use the same QR code every week?
Yes, with Juqed Gold in Juqed Go. Events then stay valid indefinitely and the QR code stays active, so a printed code on the bar keeps working shift after shift.
Do my guests have to install an app?
No. They scan the QR code with the phone camera, the browser opens, they pick a name. No download, no account, no cost – on any smartphone, Android or iPhone.
Do my guests need their own music subscription?
No, only you. Your guests search the catalogue and vote; playback runs through your account. It costs them nothing.
What happens when nobody is requesting anything?
The Auto DJ takes over and keeps playing – by genre, from your playlists, or matching what has already played. No silence just because your guests are dancing instead of typing.
Can a single guest take over the music?
That is what the per-guest request limit and the hourly vote limit are for, plus the blocklist for anything that does not belong at your event. You set both before the first guest joins.
Does everyone have to be on the same Wi-Fi?
Not with Juqed Go or Juqed Web – everything runs over the internet, mobile data and Wi-Fi mixed is no problem. Only Juqed for Mac needs a shared network, and in exchange it works with no internet at all.
Can guests see who requested what?
During the event yes – the name they chose sits next to their request, and that is part of the fun. Afterwards no: the recap and every export carry no guest names at all.
