The new songs are added to the playlist in random order. A skip function allows you to skip over an unpopular selection and a Play/Pause button is provided as well. More songs can be added to the playlist at any time without interrupting playback. Song title and artist are displayed in large easy to read text along with album artwork (when available). In addition to requests, you can load a party song list just to get and keep the music going until your friends make requests.
