RequestBox is an app that enables you to manage song requests at events and venues. Hosting an event? Use RequestBox to create a box for your guests to drop their song requests in. You can create a box to get song requests in advance to help prepare a setlist. Or create a box during the party and receive live requests. Guest at a party? As a guest, you can influence the music by dropping song requests or by voting on other guests requests.
