Frequently Asked Questions

The Jukebox App is a social jukebox that lets hosts and guests request, vote on, and participate in controlling music at parties and group gatherings. The host stays in control while guests join from their phones.

A social jukebox lets a group participate in choosing music instead of leaving the entire playlist to one person. Guests request songs, vote on the queue, and see what plays next while the host controls the session. See our About page for more.
