This is your “How to Use Your Personal Internet Radio Station”, and it is a great help with information and screen shots of the Studio and related areas to help you get the best out of your PRS. Please read this as it has most of what you need to know in it. Instructional videos are also on our YouTube channel at www.YouTube.com/KryKeyInternetRadio Plus - (0) VERY IMPORTANT:

PLEASE CHECK IN THE MAIN MUSIC LIBRARY BEFORE YOU UPLOADING MUSIC AS THE SONG MAY BE THERE; THE MUSIC LIBRARY IS FOR MUSIC ONLY – WE WILL DELETE ANYTHING ELSE; ONLY PROMOS/DJ DROPS/JUNGLES ARE TO GO IN PROMO LIBRARY; ONLY PODCASTS IN PODCAST LIBRARY;

DON’T USE CHROME BROWSER OR SAFARI DON’T SHARE SONGS UNLESS THE TAGS ARE CORRECT – IT MAKES IT BAD FOR EVERYONE ELSE

1) Radio Station Name: this can be changed anytime in the Administration section of the Studio, as can the email address, so no need to create a new radio station just to have a new name. 2) Uploading Songs: it is VERY IMPORTANT that you have the SONG NAME, ARTIST, ALBUM, YEAR and GENRE tags filled in for each song as these are required for several reasons and one most important one is if a listener is searching for a song, artist, etc these are the tags that are used and they won't be able to find your radio station. A FREE program to do this can be downloaded at http://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html 3) Upload Limits: The current maximum file size of a song is 12Mb and only in MP3 format. As we only stream at 320Kbps, the songs should be converted to this Bitrate and then the file size will be under the 12Mb for 98% of all songs. For those who need to upload a larger size, we offer a ‘File Size Option’ (FSO) which will be covered by a subscr ibed monthly fee. Podcasts are currently limited to 120Mb each. Pay for one month or get a great discount by paying for 12 months. A FREE program to recode can be downloaded at http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/free-dvd-video-software-download.htm 4) Boosting Your Listener Numbers: just a warning that we have a program running that looks at listener numbers and if they are artificially boosted your radio station will be deactivated. 5) Terms of Service: Please read the Terms of Service (select ‘legal’ link at the bottom of the KryKey.com main page Finally, we are working on the next version (3.0) and it will have more features and changes and we will be launching it sometime in 2012.

How to Use Your Personal Internet Radio Station (PRS) Studio

Your Personal Internet Radio Station Studio (PRS) is the place where it all happens! This is where you add: music, promos, news, adverts, and Podcasts to a Playlist. You can also talk "live" to your listeners. Invitations to other users (as DJ’s), and reports on your PRS' statistics are also managed here. In this tutorial we will help you master the basics of your PRS Studio, and explain all the features available to you. As we add new features this tutorial will be updated! Even though it looks a bit complicated when you first sign in, it is very easy to use and operate! Within a few minutes you will be up-and-running and broadcasting your music and content to listeners all over the Internet! Tutorials are also on You Tube (search for KryKey Web Radio) and our Facebook Fan Page. So let’s get started! Once you have signed into your Personal Internet Radio Station (PRS) Studio, you will see an interface similar to the Studio screen shot below: Once you have signed into your Personal Internet Radio Station (PRS) Studio you will see your Studio like in the screen shot below.



As you can see in the screen shot, the new Studio is made up of four distinct areas. The first navigation area (shown below) is called the “Studio Button Strip” (SBS). The SBS also has nine buttons..

These 9 buttons are:

1. Sound Library – the Sound Library contains all the music, Podcasts, Promos, Adverts and News that you have uploaded. It also contains the music library with all files that have been shared by other PRS-operators. This is called the KryKey Music Library (KML) [click here for more details]

2. Upload Songs – this is where you upload songs (only songs are to be uploaded only to this library) into your “PRS Music Library” (SML) [click here for more details]

3. Playlists – Create a Playlist, edit a Playlist or delete a Playlist. You can have multiple Playlists. Playlists have the option of being ‘shared’ so other PRS can play it. (PLL) [click here for more details]

4. Podcast – Upload your Podcasts to your “Studio Podcast Library” (PCL) [click here for more details] 5. Promos – Upload your Promos to your “Studio Promotions Library” (PL) [click here for more details] 6. Adverts – Upload you Advertisements to your “Studio Adverts Library” (AL) [click here for more details] 7. News – Upload your News clips to your “Studio News Library” (NL) [click here for more details] 8. Administration – This is the PRS Administration section which has where you can change the details and logo of

your PRS [click here for more details], change the look of your PRS [click here for more details] and manage your DJs [click here for more details]. This function is only available through Studio One (Owner), because the DJs use Studio Two. Studio Two does not have this button. [click here for more details]

9. Logout – Logout of your Studio and you will be taken to your PRS The second navigation area only has four buttons, but has nine displays and a volume control as you can see in the screen shot below.

The second navigation area has four buttons, nine displays, and a volume control (as you can see in the screen shot below): 1. Play: starts "Playing" the items in your "Play/Schedule Area" (PSA) 2. Stop: stops playing the items in the PSA 3. Mic : turns the Microphone on or off 4. Line In: this is used to plug in an external source (like a mixer) to broadcast live shows select LINE IN and MIC to

broadcast live (plug your external source into the Mic connection of your computer). 5. Time Display: this displays the current time (taken from your computer) 6. Studio Time: this displays how long you have been in the Studio 7. Number of Listeners: this displays the exact number of listeners that are currently connected to your PRS 8. Volume: this sliding volume control regulates the level of the broadcast in the Studio (not for the broadcast that

listeners hear)



9. Last Track: this is colored red as this track (previous) has now stopped 10. Now Playing: this is colored green and displays the current track playing Next Track – colored

yellow to warn you what track is next The third navigation area is what is called the Play/Schedule Area (PSA) and this area as you can see in the screen shot below is the “hub’ of the Studio as this is where it all happens.

The PSA has three sections:

1. Play & Schedule (PSA) – this is where you “drag n drop” songs, Playlists, adverts, promos, podcast, sound effects, and news. You can also schedule them by clicking on the Time/Date column to the left of the name. You can set a date and time when to play. The blue colored section tells you this is a Playlist.

2. Content – these 7 tabs which are colored for easy identification slide out from the right. To close any of them just click the right hand side which is colored red. Sound Library has the songs from your Studio Music Library (SML) and the KML (KryKey Music Library) Playlists has the Playlists you have created and shared Playlists from other PRS Podcast are in here that you have uploaded and shared Podcasts from other PRS Promos help in letting your listeners know who you are and they are in here Adverts that you have uploaded are in here Effects are what we have added in here, and more will be added monthly News that you have created and uploaded will be in here – in the future PRS can share News

3. Communication – click this and it slides up from the bottom and you will see to areas in here, (1) chat window and (2) scrolling text window. Both have different functions, the first one is used to communicate between the Studio and you PRS page with you listeners. It is a basic chat system which will let you clear the history and also change the name of the person in the Studio using the chat. The second one is for creating scrolling text messages with a maximum 140 characters which is seen on your PRS page. You can log into your Twitter account & Facebook and send these messages to them (Facebook goes on your wall).



The fourth navigation area we haven’t named, in fact we just call it the “bottom of the Studio” But if you have a better name for it, please send it to us. So this area has eight displays and four buttons. The screen shot below is of this navigation area. Moving left to right the first display is ‘when the next track starts’, then we have a ‘progress bar’ for the current track being played, what is remaining of the current Playlist, and the ‘total for hour’. The next level down the two displays that are first are for the current track, how much has been played and how much is left to be played.

1. Speaker – turns the speaker in the Studio on and off 2. Calls – a listener can call you from the PRS page. Once this call is started both you and the listeners can be heard

over the air. You will know someone is calling you by a number appearing on the button 3. Clear List – if you want to remove anything from the Play & Schedule section, just click on it and then click this

button. Want to get rid of everything? Just click the button without any selection. We then have two more displays which are how long the PRS has been broadcasting and when the next scheduled Playlist or song is going to be played. You can listen to our KryKey Internet Radio Demo radio station at http://www.krykey.com/Radio/PRSPage.aspx?id=151

THE END (sort off) That was an overview of what was in the Studio. For some of you that will be enough. For some not so, and for others more in depth information is required later. Then you can finish now and get to playing with your new Studio and PRS, or you can keep reading.

But Wait There’s More!

The next pages will give you more detail on how to use the Studio.

SOUND LIBRARY The Sound Library is where all your content is. There are eight (8) sections in the Sound Library – PRS Music Library, KryKey Music Library, Podcasts, Promos, Adverts, News, Sound Effects and Playlists. PRS Music Library (SML) All the music you have uploaded and added from KML is in here. Screen shot below displaying this section of the Sound Library. Very Important: Please do not upload anything but songs into this library. There is a library for Promos, podcasts, adverts and news. When you go to upload/add music to this library, if you get a message that it is already in the KML, this means that someone has already uploaded the song and you don’t have to. All you need to do is go to the KryKey Music Library (KML) and find the song in there by using the search and then add it to your library (see KML after this section).



MP3 Tags: Please make sure the ‘tags’ on the songs are correct – song name, album, year, genre, artist – as these are used by people who come to KryKey Internet Radio to find a radio station that is playing the music they wish to hear. The correct tags help you by helping others find your radio station. If you don’t want others to play the song you upload, then make sure the “share” is not selected. For example if I was looking for the Artist Meatloaf and singing Bat Out Of Hell, if the song is correctly tagged and is playing on your radio station then the search results would display your radio station. Also we are about to add a ‘buy now’ button to the Player and a listener can purchase the song playing and the radio station will take a percentage of the sale, but this can only happen if the tags are correct. A FREE program to do this can be downloaded at http://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html Upload Limits: The current maximum file size of a song is 12Mb and only in MP3 format. As we only stream at 192Kbps, the songs should be converted to this Bitrate (a free MP3 convertor can be downloaded at http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/free-dvd-video-software-download.htm) and then the file size will be under the 12Mb for 98% of all songs. For those who need to upload a larger size, we offer a ‘File Size Option’ (FSO) which will be covered by a subscribed monthly fee. Podcasts are currently limited to 10Mb each. The FSO will also cover large Podcast file sizes. FSO upload limit will be 80Mb per file Song or Podcast. Pay for one month or get a great discount by paying for 12 months. Share: it’s nice to share songs so other radio stations can also play them, BUT, only share if it isn’t already in the KML and the tags are perfectly correct – please think of others when you do this KryKey Music Library (KML) is next . . . .

http://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html





KryKey Music Library (KML) All music that has been uploaded and ‘shared’ by other PRS are in here as seen in the screen shot below.

You can search for songs and when you find the one you want, you click the ADD button and then the song is added to your PRS Music Library to be used as required. We recommend you look in here for a song you want to play BEFORE you upload it as it will save you time and space on our servers.



Podcast Library (PCL) All the Podcasts you have uploaded as well as ones that have been ‘shared’ by other PS are in here. Screen shot below. Podcast name and a description is required and it makes it easier for people to find it to listen to your radio station.

Promo Library (PL) Please add your promos in here and not in the music library (adding to the music library will get them deleted). Promos are for your radio station only to play.



Adverts Library (AL) Please add your audio adverts in here and not in the music library (adding them to the music library will get them deleted). Adverts are for your radio station only.

News Library (NL) Please add your News audio clips in here and not in the music library (adding them to the music library will get them deleted). News Audio clips are for your radio station only.



Sound Effects Library (SEL) You will see all the Sound Effects that have been uploaded here that you can use in your Studio.

Playlist Library (PLL) Your Playlists are created, changed, stored and deleted in here.

To create a Playlist, type in the name and description and then select if you want other PRS to be able to play it. (The start date, time are currently disabled), and then select the “create new’ button.



Then you open the ‘Sound Library’ tab on the right (blue tab) and this will display all the songs you have uploaded and the ones that have been shared by other PRS. All you have to do is then drag and drop the songs you want in the Playlist. This is also the same procedure for Podcasts, Promos, Adverts, News and Sound Effects to be added to the Playlist. Then select ‘save’ and its all finished your first Playlist. If you now go to the Studio you can open the Playlist Tab and drag the Playlist you created into the PSA to play. The next screen shot displays the ‘Sound Library” open and songs in the Playlist.

Sharing the Playlist means other radio stations on the KryKey Internet Radio Network can also play them.



Studio Administration There are four sections to the Studio’s Administration as you can see from this screen shot below.

Web Radio Station Management Change details of your PRS, change your logo add/change Social Network links. At any time you can change your radio station name or even the email address you have used.



PRS Page Management We have designed your PRS Page to be fully adjustable. In the screen shots below you can see all the components on the left that are available or can be changed. You can drag components from the right to th left hand side and you can place them on this page representation anywhere. Page color, text color, background picture can all be done for your PRS Page. Check out the KryKey Test Radio to see what can be done at http://www.krykey.com/Radio/PRSPage.aspx?id=151

Currently the Twitter, Blog and Skype components are not active and do not do anything. We advise you add the logo component so when you add you radio station address to your Facebook Status Update for example the logo is available on there.




DJ Management DJ Management is where you can create a DJ, invite them to play on your PRS. With this DJ Management you can schedule when the DJ has access to Studio 2. Times/Dates are in the UK timzone and in 24 hour format.

The DJ created as shown in the screen shot below has access to Studio 2 Wednesday through to Sunday from 18:00 to 20:00. This DJ only has this access from July 14 to July 31.



Chat & Scrolling Text Communication Window At the bottom of the Schedule/Play Area (PSA) you will find the Chat & Scrolling Text Window which when clicked on slides up. This has two sections (see screen shot below), the first is for chatting to your listeners when they visit your PRS page or use the Facebook App, and the second is for creating messages of up to 140 characters to be displayed and scrolled on your PRS page.

The Chat window is easy to use, just type in the text and press ‘send’. The Username at the bottom can be changed to what you require. As mentioned this Chat window is connected to your PRS page and the KryKey Facebook App. The Text window is also easy to use, as you just type in a message (up to 140 characters) and then select the ‘add/change’ button and then ‘save’. Up to 5 scrolling text messages can be added and displayed on your PRS page. You can also send any of these Text messages to your Twitter or Facebook accounts. The text will be displayed on your Facebook Wall. Please note the Twitter feed has been disabled. This will help you communicate and promote your web radio station. Facebook Embed Code If you have a Fan page, then you can use the Embed Code below (change number in bold red to the radio station number) in combination using the app (http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=190322544333196).
