KOQX Blues Radio – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How can I find out what songs and artists I’m hearing on KOQX? Do you publish the playlist?

A1. KOQX does not publish the playlist directly, however KOQX uses the Shoutcast server, which does stream title and artist information for every track we play. Not all players support the full range of features that the Shoutcast server provides. Recommended players are:

• Windows users should use Winamp

• Mac users should use iTunes

• Linux/X-window users should use xmms

These are the players recommended by Shoutcast, although the stream will play in most audio players. KOQX does not provide end user support for audio players. Consult the documentation for your particular player. More information is available at the Shoutcast support site.

Q2. I have a blues band, will KOQX play my music?

A2. If your music is your original work (you own the rights) and it fits our format, we will be glad to play it with your express permission. Send us an email and if possible, include a link to samples of your work. We’ll get back to you regarding submitting copies of your work for adding to our playlist!

Q3. I was listening to KOQX and now I can’t access the audio server.

A3. Don’t rip the stream. KOQX aggressively discourages streamrippers. To be safe, we suggest you use one of the recommended audio players (see Q1). Listeners that connect with known streamripping software will be banned from access to the stream.
