Ask the DJ is very clever but certain things about it are so badly thought out for DJs it is unbelievable! Particularly for Karaoke which is where requests are mostly used!
Please make the fields editable and allow additional fields for Singer, Song Title and Artist. I don't want a message or a letter, I want to get to the point and have information I need.
The field for Name has a placeholder saying that the name is 'optional'. REMOVE THIS AS A MATTER OF URGENCY. Karaoke DJs must have a name for the singer. It is NEVER optional to not have your name as a karaoke request. Even if you are only doing dance requests you should still want a name so you know you are not just doing requests for the same person all the time who has put in 100 requests. Make Name MANDATORY as standard and make it optional to be optional.
It would also be excellent if Ask The DJ was compatible with Zapier or any other utilities that allow DJs to forward requests to Ask The DJ straight from our website. I would rather users could log in to my website and have their name automatically attributed to their request by default .

Fully agree with this - I've only just began to use this feature. For me, the requestor name is mandatory.
I'd also like to know if the requestor is asking to "listen to" or to "sing" a song. A video DJ may need a "Watch" button too. You should be able to select which options you as the DJ use one your VDJ account page along with the other askthedj settings. This should appear with the request. Taking it a step further, if they want to "listen to", it should apply the filter to show music tracks only. If they want to "sing", it should apply the filter to show karaoke tracks only. If they want to "Watch", it should apply the filter for video files.
Finally, once you hit the little magnifying glass search icon and select a karaoke track, the requestor name should be pulled through and if you're using "Karaoke" mode, it should populate the singer name when you drag the track into the list. As it is, you can see the name in the AskTheDJ folder, you can search and drag the track to the karaoke list, but you have to manually edit and type in the singer/requestor name.
Ridiculous double work when you're busy enough DJ'ing and being hassled for requests.
Developers - I would happily be a tester for such enhancements.

I primarily do Karaoke gigs. It would be amazing to update the Ask the DJ feature. Possibly make it switchable from regular DJ mode to Karaoke Mode where there would be differentiation! In both modes, please add an email field and cell number field with an export feature to log all this data to a .csv file so we can contact our singers to show up for our next gig! Also, I would love a rotation feature built into the Karaoke queue where it would auto-populate the singers from the prior round into the next rotation! Venue and Singer/Song Histories would be awesome, too! Keep up the great work, VirtualDJ!
