Boost Live offers online access to every library distributed by Boost Music with the fastest music search and selection features plus broadcast quality downloads.
Boost Live is updated regularly with new music releases. The newest releases and featured CDs appear on the Home page - which is the first page you see each time you login.
FIND WHAT YOU WANT ...
To browse, click on a library on the main left side menu - then click on an album name to view the tracks from that album.
Or click on the Styles tab, select a music style from the list and choose an album you would like to audition.
To locate something specific type what you're looking for into the search box above.
You can enter single words (e.g. blues or reflectiveor scary or violin or detective or romantic ... or just about anything else) or multiple words - in any order (e.g. blues guitar or happy rock or string quartet ... and so on and so on).
For the best results, experiment with different words & combinations.
You do not need to separate multiple search words with a comma or commas - just type in the words to match your search - with a space between each word.
Different information can also be displayed on the Search Results and Show Album pages - and you can also choose the way the Search Results are displayed by using the View and Sort icons which display the results in a variety of ways including by track, album, library, favourite library, most recent releases and alphabetically.
LIBRARY ORDER
Drag & drop library names (on the left side Albums tab) to sort libraries and put your preferred libraries at the top of your list. You can then filter your search results to show your favourite libraries first.
Click the star icon next to any track or album name to start your own set of Favourites. You can add a single track or an entire album.
Then, click on the Favourites tab to view your slections.
Boost Live will remember your Favourites each time you login.
PLAYLISTS
For an even more defined list of tracks you can use Playlists ... to save ideas or collect tracks for specific jobs or styles.
When you click the add to Playlist icon a pop-up will appear showing all your active Playlists.
Click on a Playlist name to add your selected track or album to that Playlist. Or, create a new Playlist with whatever name you like - and your selected track or album will be added to that new Playlist.
Your most recent Playlist will appear at the top of the list.
Use the Playlists tab to manage and edit your Playlists.
From the Playlists tab you can download or remove tracks, rename Playlists ... or share any Playlist with anyone else.
To share a Playlist go to the Playlists tab and click SHARE next to the relevant Playlist. An email can then be sent which adds a copy of that Playlist to the recipient's Boost Live account.
The recipient can then open a copy of that Playlist in Boost Live to preview and/or download tracks and, if required, modify their copy of the Playlist in any way ... without changing your own version of the Playlist you have shared.
Playlists are stored in your Boost Live account for each time you login.
