Frequently Asked Questions

How much does DROP TRAX cost?

DROP TRAX is completely free to use! There are no subscription fees, no per-event charges, and no hidden costs. If you'd like to support our development, you can make a donation via Venmo @Indigolive.

Do guests need to download an app?

No! DROP TRAX works entirely through web browsers. Guests can scan QR codes with their phone's built-in camera and access the request page instantly without downloading anything.

What music sources does DROP TRAX support?

DROP TRAX integrates with both Apple Music's massive music library and Spotify. Apple Music provides song search and discovery, while Spotify integration allows you to automatically add approved songs to your Spotify queue for seamless playback.

How does Spotify integration work?

First, set up your Spotify app credentials through the setup wizard. Then connect your Spotify account and start playing music on any Spotify device. Once connected and active, you can automatically send approved songs to your Spotify queue or manually control which songs to add. Requires Spotify Premium.

Do I need Spotify Premium for the integration?

Yes, Spotify Premium is required to use the queue management features. This is a Spotify API limitation - only Premium accounts can add songs to the playback queue programmatically.

Can I use DROP TRAX for any type of event?

Absolutely! DROP TRAX works great for weddings, parties, club nights, corporate events, school dances, and any gathering where music is important. The platform is flexible enough to adapt to any event style.

How many guests can request songs at once?

There's no limit! DROP TRAX can handle hundreds of simultaneous users without any performance issues. Whether you have 10 guests or 1000, the platform scales to meet your needs.

What if someone requests inappropriate songs?

DROP TRAX includes built-in moderation tools including manual approval options. You have complete control over what gets added to your playlist, and you can reject any inappropriate requests.

Can I export my playlist after the event?

Yes! You can export your approved playlist as a text file, which includes song titles, artists, and request details. This is great for creating Spotify playlists later or keeping records of successful events.

What happens if my internet connection is poor?

DROP TRAX is optimized for various connection speeds. The platform uses efficient data loading and caching to work well even on slower connections. For best results, we recommend a stable internet connection for both DJs and guests.

How does the tipping system work?

Tipping is configured per-event, giving you complete control over when guests can tip you. When creating a new event, you can enable tipping with a simple checkbox. When enabled, guests will see a "Tip the DJ" button on the request page and can tip you via Venmo, PayPal, or Cash App. Make sure to configure your payment methods in Account Settings first. Each event can have its own tipping settings - some events can have tipping enabled while others don't.

Can I customize the request page for my event?

While the core interface remains consistent for ease of use, you can customize event settings like request limits, anonymous requests, auto-approval, and per-event tipping options to match your event's needs.

Is my data secure with DROP TRAX?

Yes! We take data security seriously. All connections are encrypted, we don't store unnecessary personal information, and we follow best practices for data protection. Your events and guest information are kept private and secure.
