Comparison
A playlist or an automated music system for your venue?
Many venues start with a playlist on a tablet behind the bar. That can work. This page shows where a playlist is enough and where an automated flow does more for your staff and guests.
In short
- A playlist is cheap and works for a steady, unchanging mood
- It needs staff to switch, adjust and react during service
- SkafRemix follows phases, rules and approved requests automatically
- Basic starts at €9 per month, net
Package that usually fits: Basic from €9 per month, net. Your venue check confirms the right package.

When a playlist is enough
If your venue needs one steady mood all day, has few guests at a time and someone is happy to look after the music, a playlist may be all you need.
When SkafRemix does more
When the night has phases, staff are busy and guests want to take part, an automated flow saves time and keeps the sound consistent. Staff can still take over at any time.
A note on playlists from personal streaming accounts: personal subscriptions are generally licensed for private use only. Check the terms of your service and the licences for your venue.
Questions and answers
Is SkafRemix more expensive than a playlist?
Basic costs €9 per month, net, plus the Edge box (bought once or included monthly). What you save is staff time during service and the cost of inconsistent nights.
Can we keep our favourite songs?
Yes. Must-play songs and genres are part of your music profile; SkafRemix plays your venue’s own licensed music.
Can staff still choose the music themselves?
Yes. In Manual mode staff decide every important step and SkafRemix carries it out.
