The Longshot Radio widget v2 is a custom designed web music player. The music player is programmed to collect the “streams” and play them automatically when it opens on your blog or web page (simple html code with NO tracking cookies or links to any spam advertising or web sites). The music player loads, auto-starts and continues to play music for over 100 hours (so far...) and the playlist expands every month. In two years we haven’t suffered any down-time. A commercial-free radio broadcast. SIMPLE TO INSTALL That’s it! You simply copy and paste a version of the widget code into the appropriate place on your website or blog HIGHLY RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION METHOD using the I-frame code  (player was designed for this method) The widget also works as a “selectable” feature if you can install the code on a pop-up layer or a separate page that initiates from a text prompt or icon on your main page (an alternative to having the radio player appear, initiate and auto-play immediately when visitors access the page). It’s like an “ON” switch so the player only appears, initiates and plays when the text prompt link or icon link is intentionally selected by your visitor (sample link icons below) The radio loads the entire playlist and shuffles it each time making it very unlikely that you’ll ever see a repeat (or even similar) opening playlist. Visitors to your web site will never hear the same songs in the same order and the advanced controls make it easy to operate. SCROLL DOWN TO FIND THE LINKS TO THE EMBED CODES. THERE ARE ALSO OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND USEFUL INSTALLATION TIPS......ENJOY IMPROVED PROFESSIONAL OPERATING FEATURES IN VERSION 2  - (now broadcasting at high bandwidth)   1. The player displays only 6 songs at-a-time from the massive playlist. Users can scroll down through the entire currently available playlist and play any song, anytime by clicking on it.  Playlist songs highlight on mouse-over. 2. The text message box displays the current “playing” track by band and song name. The message automatically scrolls for longer titles as required. 3. The player continues to play the next track if left unattended.  If the player plays the entire current playlist from the first track, the music continues for over 100 hours without ever repeating a track. The total overall playtime may increase or decrease from time to time as we alter the playlist streams. Nothing for you to do but enjoy the music. 4. All of the control buttons conveniently identify with pop-up bubble name panels on mouse-over and include: a) Buttons to select Previous / Next track b) Buttons to select Stop player or Pause / Play a track (”on” or play mode when player opens - click to PAUSE) c) Buttons to select  Repeat entire playlist (music continues forever),  Shuffle playlist (”on” when player opens)     - Click this button once to view an alphabetical playlist - click it again to get a completely remixed new playlist d) Mute switch turns the player’s sound off and on (a quick alternative to stopping, pausing or closing the player) e) Sliders are provided for Scrolling through current playing song or Scrolling through the entire playlist plus there     are “one track UP” and “one track DOWN” toggle buttons.
