In this issue of the newsletter, I would like to point out some features of the website that you may or might not know or utilize. 

Let’s start with “The_BocX” music player in the right margin.  It should auto-magically play when you go to the website.  It may ask you to load a plug-in that is safe on your first visit. Also embedded in the player are icons for RealPlayer, Win Amp or iTunes that you can click on and play the music via your smart phone or the above-mentioned application on your PC.

If you would like to add www.TheBocx.com music player to your own blog or website (at no charge) I can send you the code so it plays auto-magically or with a click of the blue arrow.  A great way to have viewer stay longer on your website.

You can click on the Detach link and the player will become a small window and play in the background and you can close www.TheBocX.com website and still have the music play.  In addition, you can click on the Export link and it will take you to the Radionomy.com website where you can sign up as a fan of this radio station or other features.

The last item I wanted to mention in this newsletter is the Bocx Tech Info link in the right margin.  There is YouTube video with simple instructions on how to connect your PC to your home stereo system to play www.thebocx.com.   Now you can kick it up and have big fun!
