No problem! You can add any song manually:

1. Type the song in "Title - Artist" format
2. Example: "My Favorite Song - My Favorite Band"
3. The system automatically adds it for future users

Try these search tips first:

• Check spelling of artist and song names
• Try searching just the artist name
• Use alternative titles (some songs have multiple names)
• Search for the original artist vs. cover versions

Over 25,000 songs and growing! Our database includes:

Every time someone adds a new song, it becomes available for all future users!

The queue works in rounds:

• Round 1: Everyone's first song
• Round 2: Everyone's second song (if they have one)
• Round 3: And so on...

Your position depends on:

• New singers: Added to the end of the current round
• Returning singers: Shuffled fairly into the rotation
• Host decisions: The host can adjust order as needed

Yes! Most venues allow multiple songs per person.

How to add more songs:

1. Return to the signup page after your first signup
2. Enter the same name you used before
3. Confirm "Yes, that's me!" when asked
4. Your new song gets added to a later round

The host controls timing, but here's what to expect:

• Stay nearby: The host will call your name
• Check the queue: Refresh the signup page to see current order
• Be patient: Everyone gets a fair turn
• Be ready: Have your song in mind when called

Timing depends on venue size, song length, and how many people are signed up. The host may adjust the order to keep things flowing smoothly.
