Limit Song Requests to Your Own Repertoire
Keep your events focused by limiting song requests to only the tracks you know and can perform. By connecting a playlist from Spotify, SoundCloud, or Apple Music as your repertoire, guests can only request songs from your curated collection.
Below is everything you need to know about setting up repertoire-based song requests.
Why Limit to Your Repertoire?
When you limit song requests to your own repertoire, you maintain complete control over the musical direction of your event while still allowing guest participation. This is particularly valuable for:
How Repertoire Limiting Works
When you enable repertoire limiting:
- Guests see only your selected songs - Instead of searching the entire music catalog, guests can only browse and select from your chosen playlist
- No other requests possible - Guests cannot search for or request any songs outside your repertoire
Setting Up Repertoire Limiting
To enable repertoire limiting for your event:
- Go to the Create Event page in Rekwest (Or edit one of your existing events)
- Toggle the “Limit what can be requested” switch
- Toggle the “Limit song requests to repertoire”
- Select the playlist that represents your repertoire
What Your Guests Will Experience
When guests join an event with repertoire limiting enabled, they will see only the songs from your selected playlist. The general music search is disabled.
Managing Your Repertoire
Updating Your Playlist
Your repertoire playlist serves as the live source for available songs:
- Add new songs to your connected playlist to expand available requests
- Remove songs from the playlist to stop them appearing as options
- Reorder tracks in your playlist to influence how they appear to guests
- Changes sync automatically - Updates to your playlist are immediately reflected in Rekwest
