I'm going to unleash the MyDjSongBook app very soon. At this moment, requests go into VDJ's queue same as any other request. You (the DJ) choose whether to use the hosted app, or the direct IP version currently out there. In either case DJ control features will still be available *using the direct IP*.
At some point in the future I may eliminate the direct version all together (except for DJ control) but that will be a while. At that time I'll improve on the DJ control quite a bit (this will be for the 8.0 release).
SO: Requests go into VDJ automatically. Any request over 24 hours that VDJ hasn't scooped up yet, is deleted.
If a person requests a song that is either:
- Already in the Request Queue
- Already in the Playlist, or
- Already in the Karaoke Queue
they receive a message automatically to that effect, without bothering the DJ at all.
For your side of the app: If the "auto-enable/disable" option is selected, the app becomes "enabled" as soon as VDJ contacts the server. After an hour of inactivity from VDJ, it goes to Disabled (showing your "away" message). If you do NOT use the automatic option, you would manually turn the app on and off.
However, in either case, if VDJ hasn't contacted the server in an hour, your location will stop showing up in a general "find a DJ" search, though the app will still function until turned off.
So - I need volunteers. Hit me at
Justin@VDJ.Net with:
- Your licensed name
- Preferred email address (should be same as your licensed email, for verification anyway)
- Your chosen username (letters & numbers, 4 to 20 characters, hyphens allowed but not as first/last character)
- Your chosen password (no real specific rules on that yet, I'll get to that later, just use common sense)
NOTE: Your "username" is your URL; your "display name" will be something you can type Case Correct and change any time.
Once I get a few things tidied up -- before the weekend -- I'll send each of you a login and a link to the updated VDJ (7.7) which will be a "quick install" if you're on at least 7.4 already (you will not lose any data or settings). From there you can customize your account, upload your index, and start accepting requests from a live, truly hosted, fully secured web app

Things I need to finish before this weekend:
- Setting *your* location. Will be automated but you will be able to use an interactive Google map to pinpoint your exact location (or where you WILL be)
- Uploading custom backgrounds. I have two up now, I'll throw some more in later to choose from.
- VDJ retrieving uploaded user photos. The app-side of that works beautifully, VDJ just has to download the photo associated with a user ID and allow you (the DJ) to choose to use their latest pic or not
Other than that, it's so close to being ready...... I'm going to leave my PC on with VDJ running so if you want to play around the customer side:
https://jman.mydjsongbook.com/This is what people will see when their location or ZIP code is used (I used my zip so it shows the one DJ actually online):
https://www.mydjsongbook.com/finddj?lat=&lon=&dis=25&zip=46303Tapping the little point and/or letter "A" next to my name shows a small popup description, and of course there's the map and the link directly to the app itself.
Note that the domain portion of a URL is Not CaSe SeNsItIvE so when you have your custom URL, you can print it however you like. And since the server auto-redirects to the HTTPS version, you can simply put a nice friendly:
JMan.MyDjSongBook.comAnd if that's still too much for people to type, that's what QR codes are for
