RadioBOSS lets users get started in just a few easy steps.
1. Run RadioBOSS.
2. Set up Music Library. Music Library is used
for quick-search and automatic playlist generation.
If you don't plan on using those features, you can skip this
step - the music library is not required for operation.
On the top menu bar, select Library -> Open Music Library.
The Music library window
opens:
Select Add ->
Add folder button to add a
folder with music tracks. Add your music using the "Add..."
commands.
Once added, the audio files are listed in the music library along with their track
information (artist, title, album, year, genre, etc.)
Click File -> Save to
save the library.
Close the music library.
3. Adding music to the
playlist. You can use the Playlist menu or file explorer shown on
the left (using drag-n-drop to do so).
Available menu commands:
RadioBOSS supports multiple playlists, and you can add as many
playlists as you need by clicking the "+" button shown on the
right. This button also allows you to add a Cart wall or web-browser.
4. Assigning quick-access
jingles. Select Jingles > Assign... to add jingles. The jingles may be played by pressing the
1-9 keys on the keyboard.
5. Set up crossfading:
On the Control Panel, click
Crossfade and set the desired values.
Users can learn more about the crossfade parameters in the Crossfade section.
6. If you have multiple
sound cards installed or you want to configure advanced playback
settings, you can go to Settings window: menu Settings -> Options...
The Playback section allows you to setup output sound cards and
various output settings. More info in a separate topic: playback parameters.
7. Setting up a
broadcast. If you're running an Internet radio station,
you'll need to setup broadcasting
encoders. RadioBOSS supports ShoutCast, IceCast, and
compatible servers. No extra plugins are required. The Broadcasting section
describes in detail how to setup broadcasting encoders.
8. Double-click any file
in the playlist to start the playback!
