DJ Software for Venues and Events

Almost certainly yes, and My Personal DJ does not provide one. Playing recorded music to the public in a commercial space normally requires performance rights from your local collecting societies - PRS and PPL in the UK, ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC in the US, SGAE in Spain, GEMA in Germany, SACEM in France, SIAE in Italy. That obligation comes from playing the music publicly and applies whichever software or device you use, including a phone. This is the main practical difference between this app and subscription services like SoundMachine or Soundsuit, which bundle a licence into the monthly fee. If your venue already holds its licence, the app plays your own files with no additional per-location cost. If it does not, sort the licence first.

That is what it is built for. The app generates a fresh order from your folder each session rather than working through a fixed list, so it does not reach an end and stop. It tracks what has already played and keeps that history between sessions, so opening the next evening does not replay the same twenty songs. Levels are normalized across files, which removes the usual reason staff touch the volume, and every transition is crossfaded so there is no silence when the room goes quiet.

Yes, by switching folders - keep a dinner folder and a late folder and point the app at whichever one fits. Be aware there is no time-of-day scheduler: the app will not switch by itself at 22:00 the way a subscription service with a programming calendar does. If unattended scheduled changes are a hard requirement for your room, a scheduling service is the better fit. On the paid Plus plan you also get an energy setting to push a session warmer or calmer, and genre modes for rooms with a consistent style.

No. Everything runs locally on the Windows machine - the files, the analysis, and the playback. A venue wifi outage, an ISP problem, or a streaming service inserting an ad cannot interrupt the music, which is a genuine advantage over cloud-delivered background music in rooms with unreliable connectivity.

One machine drives one audio output, so separate rooms that need different music need separate machines. There is no central dashboard for managing several sites from one place - if you run a multi-location group and need that, a hospitality music platform is designed for it and this is not. For a single room, or a few rooms each with their own PC, the setup is straightforward.

For most rooms, yes. The free plan includes the full automatic mixing engine with no track limit and no session limit: library analysis, energy-aware sequencing, adaptive crossfades, and loudness normalization. The paid Plus plan adds genre modes for Rap and R&B, Latin, Electronic, and Indie, plus the energy control and unlimited favorites. Start free, and upgrade only if the room turns out to need genre-specific mixing.
