Auxio FAQ: social jukebox, party codes, requests, and votes

Auxio is a social jukebox for Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music. Hosts start a party. Guests request songs, vote on the queue, and help pick what plays next. The host stays in control of playback. See also About Auxio.

A social jukebox lets a group participate in choosing the music instead of leaving the entire playlist to one person. Auxio uses smartphones, a party code or QR invite, guest requests, voting, and streaming catalogs — like a classic jukebox, updated for Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music.

No. A collaborative playlist is a shared list many accounts can edit. Auxio is a live party queue with a host. Guests request and vote; they do not take over the host’s speakers, skip control, or music-service login.

Auxio is not a generic Spotify remote and not a Blend or DJ mix. It is a request-and-vote jukebox for a room. Playback stays with the host. Guests shape the queue from their own phones.

Both are group-listening products from Universally Thinking. Auxio is the social jukebox for Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music. The Jukebox App is a related product from the same team.

Yes. Start an Auxio party with Spotify. Guests search, request, and vote. Playback uses the host’s connected Spotify account, including speakers and Spotify Connect devices when available.

Yes. Start an Auxio party with Apple Music. Guests still join with a party code, request songs from the Apple Music catalog, and vote on the shared queue.

Yes. Hosts can start a YouTube party from Auxio. Guests join with a party code and help pick videos on the shared queue — a YouTube jukebox for the room.

Guests do not need a matching Spotify, YouTube, or Apple Music account. Playback uses the host’s connected service. The host needs a working account on the service they choose to host with.

A party is hosted on the service you start with — Spotify, YouTube, or Apple Music. Start a new party if you want a different catalog. Guests rejoin with the new party code.

Share a short party code or a QR invitation. Guests open Auxio or a phone browser, enter the code (or scan the QR), pick a display name, and join. Join a party.

A party code is a short code the host shares so people in the room can join the social jukebox. TV layouts also show a QR code next to the party code so guests can join without typing.

Yes. After joining, guests search and add song requests (or YouTube videos) to the shared party queue. That is the core of a social jukebox: everyone can put a track in, without taking the aux.

Yes. Guests can upvote or downvote requests. The queue updates so the group can influence what plays next, while the host still owns playback.

No. Skip, play/pause, and the speakers stay with the host. Guests request and vote. That split is what keeps Auxio from turning into “whoever has the phone is the DJ.”

No. Guests can join from a phone browser with the party code, or from the Auxio iOS or Android app. Hosts who want the full experience should get the app.

Yes. Auxio is designed for house parties where people want to request and vote on music without passing around the host’s phone. See house party tips.

Yes. Put the queue on a laptop or TV, share the QR code, and let guests request dance-floor songs from their phones while the host keeps control.

Yes. Passengers join the party code and request songs. The host (usually the driver’s phone or car playback) keeps the music playing.

Yes. On Google TV, search the app store for Auxio for TV. On Fire TV, search for The Jukebox App. Guests still request from their phones while the queue sits on the TV.

Yes. A social jukebox is a good fit whenever more than one person cares what plays next — dorms, tailgates, game nights, and group hangs.

iPhone and iPad: the App Store. Android: Google Play. You can also start a party on the web.
