Free · Works with Spotify Premium

Click a cue.
The song jumps there and waits.

ChorusCue puts your playlists on one screen with clickable cue points. Hit one and the song jumps to the chorus, verse or bridge and pauses, ready for walk-ons and stingers. Built by a live-event A1 who got tired of scrubbing.

How it works

Three steps. Nothing to install.

Set up and sign in

Create your own free Spotify developer app (about 2 minutes), then sign in with Spotify Premium. ChorusCue asks only to read your playlists and control playback.

Pick a playlist

Every playlist you've made or collaborate on loads live, plus your Liked Songs. Add a song in Spotify, hit Refresh, and it's there.

Click a cue

The song jumps to that spot and pauses, with the volume held down while it loads. Press play in Spotify, or on your console fader, when you're ready.

Made for the moment before the moment

The screen is built for one click, under pressure.

Cue points that make sense

Chorus, intro, verse, pre-chorus, bridge and last chorus, worked out from timed lyrics. Over 100 popular songs come pre-cued, and the list grows.

Lands paused, not playing

ChorusCue mutes while the song loads, parks it on the cue, pauses, and puts your volume back. No surprise blast through the PA.

Your own cue times

Type a time to jump there, or save it as your cue for that song. Songs without cue data get quick jumps and a one-click chorus guess.

Language heads-up

Flags strong language near a cue, so you know what's coming before you push the fader up.

What you need

ChorusCue controls the Spotify app you already use. It doesn't play audio itself.

Get started

Make your own free Spotify developer app (about 2 minutes). Spotify limits how many people can use a shared app, so your own app means your own limit and no waitlist. Your Client ID stays only in your browser. ChorusCue never needs your Client Secret.

  1. Go to developer.spotify.com/dashboard, log in with your Spotify account, and accept the terms if asked.
  2. Click Create app. Name it anything (for example "My ChorusCue") and add any short description.
  3. Under Redirect URIs, paste this exactly and click Add:
    https://choruscue.crewtocomm.com/app/
  4. Under "Which API/SDKs are you planning to use?", tick Web API. Agree to the terms and click Save.
  5. On the app's page, open Settings, copy the Client ID (not the secret), and paste it below.

FAQ

Is ChorusCue made by Spotify?

No. ChorusCue is an independent tool that uses Spotify's public developer platform. It isn't affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Spotify.

Does it cost anything?

ChorusCue is free. You need your own Spotify Premium subscription. The developer app you create is also free.

Why do I need my own Spotify app?

Spotify limits how many people can use a shared app, and those apps share one rate limit. Your own free developer app gives you your own limit and skips the waitlist. The Client ID stays only in your browser. ChorusCue never needs your Client Secret.

Where do the cue points come from?

For many popular songs, ChorusCue includes cue points worked out from timed lyrics, many of them checked by hand. When other ChorusCue users have saved their own cue for a song, that shared cue is used next and labeled "community" with how many people agree. For everything else it looks up timed lyrics on the free lrclib.net service and guesses the chorus right in your browser. Guesses show in blue, so check them before showtime. You can always type your own time, and your own cue always wins.

Why can't I open a playlist someone else made?

Spotify only lets apps like this read the songs in playlists you own or collaborate on. Add the songs to a playlist of your own and it will load.

Why does it take a few seconds the first time?

When a song isn't loaded yet, Spotify can take 10 to 25 seconds to start it. ChorusCue keeps it muted, parks it on your cue, and pauses. If the song is already loaded, the jump is instant.

What do you store about me?

Your sign-in, saved cues and guesses stay in your own browser. If "Share my cue fixes" is on (it is by default), a cue you save is also sent to ChorusCue's shared cue list as just the song id, the time and the song length, filed under a scrambled code instead of your Spotify account. Turn it off in the app any time. See the privacy page.
