eJukebox Request turns your phone into the jukebox at venues running eJukebox - pubs, clubs and bars across Australia. WALK IN AND YOU ARE CONNECTED Open the app at a participating venue and it finds the room you are in. Scan the venue's QR code or type its short code and you are in. SEE WHAT IS PLAYING The song on now, how long is left, and what is coming up next - live, as the venue plays it. PICK THE NEXT SONG Search the venue's library by artist or title, hear a preview, and queue it. Not sure? Ask "Help me pick" and describe the mood. ADD YOUR VOICE At venues that allow it, record a short dedication that plays over the intro of your song. YOUR PHOTO ON THE BIG SCREEN Where the venue has switched it on, send a photo from your phone to the venue's screens. AWAY FROM THE VENUE You can still see what any venue you have visited is playing. Requests are only accepted while you are there, so the people in the room stay in charge of the room. eJukebox is installed and run by the venue. Features vary by venue. Requires a venue that runs eJukebox (ejukebox.com.au).
