    Any chatbox can make that happen.

    That’s a cool idea never heard of that! Usually I just put out a stack of scrap paper for people to scribble “Skrillex” or “Pitbull” or “play something good” on hahahahhaa!

    I’d say there are about a million ways to easily do this. Ideally, you don’t want to use a dedicated app that people need to search for, download, and install because getting them to do this will be a pain (speaking from professional experience as a HCI researcher). Something people already have on their phones will definitely work best.

    The simplest solution, of course, would be good ol’ SMS – print a sign saying TEXT YOUR REQUEST TO XXX-XXX-XXX and hang that outside the booth. If you’re not comfortable handing out your number like that, use Twitter – again, print a sign saying TWEET YOUR REQUESTS – USE HASHTAG #REQUESTSTODJ or something along those lines, and then follow that hashtag yourself. Or Facebook, create a page for the event you’re playing at and let people write requests on the wall.

    I’m sure there are tons of apps out there that let you do many-to-one messaging, but like I said, getting people to download and install anything is usually difficult, especially due to the huge variety of brands and models out there – you don’t want to restrict this service to those with, say, Android smart phones.

    Never really considered it but doesn’t iTunes DJ have a feature where anyone with an I device can add a track to the playlist. If you had Itunes running (but not playing you can keep track of incoming song requests and play them on whatever software you are using. Also, they would only be selecting songs from your library?

    Like I said I never really looked into this feature, but I’m pretty sure it exists.
