What is Song Overlays Pro?

Song Overlays Pro is a macOS application with two powerful capabilities: automatic song detection using Apple's Shazam technology to display what's playing, and Song Requests to let your audience request songs via QR code. Core features (detection, overlays, Discord, OSC) are a one-time $9.99 purchase. Song Requests is an optional subscription for DJs and streamers who want live audience interaction.

How do Song Requests work?

Create an event in the app, share your unique QR code or link, and attendees can request songs from their phones — no app download required. Requests appear instantly on your Mac via WebSocket. You can queue, accept, or decline with one click. When you play a requested song, the app auto-detects it via Shazam and marks the request complete. Attendees see real-time status updates.

Can I manage requests on my phone?

Yes! With Song Requests Pro (our iOS companion app), you can manage events, requests, and view DJ Statistics directly from your iPhone or iPad. The iOS app syncs in real-time with your Mac—changes on one device appear instantly on the other. The iOS app does NOT perform Shazam detection (that stays on your Mac); instead, it gives you mobile access to manage everything remotely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Song Overlays Pro.

How does Song Overlays Pro detect songs automatically?

Song Overlays Pro uses Apple's ShazamKit to listen to your Mac's system audio through microphone access. It identifies songs in real-time and automatically updates your overlays within seconds. All processing happens locally on your Mac—no accounts required, no data is sent to external servers.

What's the difference between Song Overlays Pro and Spotify/YouTube overlays?

Song Overlays Pro works with ANY audio source playing on your Mac via Shazam technology—including vinyl records, live performances, DJ software, and music production tools. Spotify and YouTube overlays only work when you're playing music through those specific platforms. This makes Song Overlays Pro perfect for DJs, musicians, and anyone working with audio sources beyond streaming services.

How do I add the overlay to OBS Studio?

After installing Song Overlays Pro, start the web server in the app. It will generate a URL (e.g., http://localhost:8080). In OBS Studio, add a new Browser Source, paste this URL, and set the dimensions to 1920x1080. The overlay will appear in your OBS scene and update automatically as songs are detected.

Is my data and listening history private?

Yes, 100% private. All song detection and processing happens locally on your Mac using Apple's ShazamKit. Song Overlays Pro does not collect any usage data, analytics, or listening history. No accounts are required, and no data is sent to external servers. Sensitive configuration data (like Discord webhooks) is stored securely in the macOS Keychain.

What platforms does it work with?

Song Overlays Pro works with OBS Studio, Streamlabs OBS, Discord (via webhooks), Resolume Arena, TouchOSC, QLab, Isadora, and any software that supports browser sources or OSC (Open Sound Control) protocol. You can also export song images for use in video editing or social media.

Can I customize the overlay appearance?

Yes! Song Overlays Pro offers 10 built-in themes, unlimited color customization, 15+ font options, custom font uploads, glow effects, animations, and both portrait and landscape orientations. You can save your custom designs as reusable themes.

Does it work with Apple Music, Spotify, or other streaming services?

Yes—Song Overlays Pro works with ANY audio playing on your Mac via Shazam technology. This includes Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, vinyl records, live instruments, DJ software like Serato or Traktor, and music production tools. As long as audio is playing through your Mac, Song Overlays Pro can detect it.

What are the system requirements?

Song Overlays Pro requires macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later. You'll need to grant microphone permission to allow the app to listen to system audio for song detection. The app is lightweight and runs efficiently in the background.

What is Song Requests and do I need it?

Song Requests is an optional subscription feature that lets your audience request songs by scanning a QR code. Requests appear in real-time on your Mac, and the app auto-detects when you play them via Shazam. It's perfect for DJs and streamers who want audience interaction. All core features (song detection, overlays, Discord, OSC) work without a subscription.

Do attendees need to download an app to request songs?

No. Attendees simply scan your QR code or visit your event link in any mobile browser. They can submit song requests, add notes, and see real-time status updates — all without downloading anything. This makes it frictionless for guests at weddings, clubs, and live events.

How does auto-detection work for Song Requests?

When you play a song, Shazam identifies it automatically. The app then compares it to your pending requests using exact ISRC matching or fuzzy title/artist matching (85% title, 75% artist similarity). When a match is found, the request is marked as "Played" and the requester sees a real-time notification. You can also manually mark requests as played.

What happens to my data if I cancel the Song Requests subscription?

Your events remain accessible (read-only) for 30 days after cancellation, giving you time to export any data you need. After 30 days, event data is permanently deleted. The core features (song detection, overlays, Discord, OSC) continue working normally — they don't require a subscription.

Is Song Requests GDPR compliant?

Yes. Attendees provide email addresses optionally and with explicit consent. They can request deletion of their data anytime via privacy@willtourforfood.com. Marketing exports auto-delete after 30 days. When you export attendee data, you agree to comply with GDPR, CCPA, CAN-SPAM, and other applicable laws. See our full privacy policy in the app for details.
