SongbookDB Quick Start Set Up Guide for DJs

If you don't already have a SongbookDB account (for DJs, not singers), first sign up:

Sign up here: 30 Day Free Trial Sign-Up, and follow the instructions in the email we send you.

Then follow these steps:

  1. Install SongbookDB Pal®:
    (Windows & Mac compatible)

    Pal is the desktop app that you use to create, edit and upload your song lists. It's also one of the apps that receives song requests. It doesn't have copy protection - feel free to install it on any computer(s) you wish to create your song lists from, and, unless you're a PCDJ Karaoki™ or MTU Hoster® user, install it on any computers that you want to receive song requests on.

    To install:

    - download and install Harman AIR:
