You've got questions. We've (hopefully) got answers!
By now you probably know that user-friendly is our middle name. We work hard to make the site as easy to use
and navigate as possible but at times, there may be an explanation or description that leaves you scratching your
head. In the event this happens (and we do hope it's rare!), we've compiled a handy little list of some of the most
frequently asked questions about the site and how it operates, so you can get the most from myTouchTunes.
We try to update this section as much as possible to reflect the growing needs of our users. If you have
questions that are not covered in this section, feel free to contact us and let us know!

Terms of Use
Why was my profile picture rejected?
Like most people, we don't like rejection and we most certainly don't like being the bad guys who have to tell
you that we can't post your profile picture. But on occasion, we have to do just that for a number of reasons,
including copyright infringement of an image that is not your own (think the Rolling Stones logo - can't use it),
use of profanity or offensive imagery or just plain bad taste. Should your profile picture not comply with any of
these guidelines, an e-mail will be sent to you informing you that we cannot post the picture you have submitted,
along with the specific reason.
We encourage you to be creative and express yourself with your profile picture. By abiding by our simple guidelines,
you'll never have to get rejected - well by us, anyway.
For more information on picture profiles, please see the picture profile's page.
Music & Playlists
How do I search for music on myTouchTunes?
Tons of titles to choose from!
Creating your playlist is the first step but looking for music to fill it with is where things really start to
rock 'n' roll! Click on your choice of search options on the left-hand side of the screen (artist, title, album or
genre) and let myTouchTunes do the rest.
- To search for a song, artist or album you like, select the appropriate search field on the left-hand side
menu and type in your search.
- Enter a few characters (three or more) and wait a few seconds. You should see a Quick Pick list of the most
popular search results for the entered text.
How do I create more playlists?
Creating a playlist is fast and simple.
Ready to tune in? Create other playlists by typing any name you choose in the "Create a Playlist" box on the
right-hand side of your screen. It will automatically appear just above and bingo. You've created a new playlist.
Now the real fun begins!
I created a 5th playlist. Where is it?
After creating your 5th playlist, you might think one of them has disappeared. The trick is, you only see 4
playlists at a time. To see the 5th one, just scroll down or up with the top and bottom arrows on the right hand
side of your list of playlists.
How do I access my playlists on a myTouchTunes-enabled jukebox?
Load 'em up on a myTouchTunes-enabled jukebox
So your playlists are filled up and you're ready to unleash them on your next party or gathering. Just
locate your nearest myTouchTunes-enabled digital jukebox, look up your personal playlists and get spinning.
It doesn't get any easier than that!
So you're probably thinking, "How will I know if a jukebox is myTouchTunes-enabled?" Well, like everything else
about our service, the answer is simple. Just look for the "Make Your Playlists" icon or "Login to myTouchTunes" icon
at the bottom-left of the main screen. (If you don't see either of these icons, the jukebox is not myTouchTunes-enabled - yet.
But we're working on bringing all of our jukeboxes up to speed soon.) When you find the icon, touch it and you will be led
to a login screen, where you will be prompted to enter your username and password. Once you've logged in, the jukebox
will then display your playlists.
That's it - an instant music party, styled by you…with a little help from myTouchTunes, of course. (Because we love a party too!)
How do I know if a jukebox is myTouchTunes-enabled?
Ah, we're glad you asked! Well ok, we asked for you but it's still important. First, look for one of the nearly
30,000 TouchTunes jukeboxes across America by looking for the TouchTunes logo. Then, simply find the "Make your playlists"
icon at the bottom-left of the main screen. If the icon isn't there, the jukebox is not myTouchTunes enabled yet but don't
fret - we're working on it and won't stop until all of our jukeboxes are myTouchTunes-enabled.
So your playlists are filled up and you're ready to unleash them on your next party or gathering. Just
locate your nearest myTouchTunes-enabled digital jukebox, look up your personal playlists and get spinning.
It doesn't get any easier than that!
Why doesn't the myTouchTunes-enabled jukebox show all the songs in my playlist?
I'm missing music!
Sometimes, we have the right to play a song in one country, but not necessarily in another. This means that even
if you add a specific song to your playlist, we have to make sure that it doesn't play in any country in which it is
not authorized. For example, if you live and load your playlists in the US, we may not have the right to play some of
your music in Mexico, for example, and those songs which may not be played may be filtered from a jukebox in that country.
Other times, the jukebox's location setting may filter out some songs. Why, you ask? Perhaps the bartender doesn't
want to hear the Macarena over and over again or maybe the owner of the establishment in which the jukebox is located
wants to filter out songs with inappropriate lyrics or content.
How does a playlist become popular?
A playlist becomes popular through the number of plays any of its songs receive in a myTouchTunes-enabled jukebox.
What is "Tunes for You?"
Why were these songs recommended to me?
Leave the searching to us! The music sleuths at TouchTunes will automatically recommend songs we think you will
like based on the music contained in your playlists and the information you entered in your musical profile. We then
present our suggestions to you in the "Tunes for You" feature. If you like them, go for them, if not, we'll just
keep on trying!
What is "myJukePlays?"
What was that song?
A cool feature of the myTouchTunes-enabled jukebox, "Juke Plays" lets you keep track of the songs you play often or the ones
you've played most recently. The lists can be used to make sure the songs you play often stay on your playlists.
