The Bossa Music
Player: Easy to select music, easy to play
music
When you start Bossa your music
automatically starts to play. By
default it starts with a totally random
mix, but if you’ve saved mixes
it will start to play with the latest
mix you played in Bossa. All
of Bossa’s functionality is built
into the interface of the player. You
can see what song is playing, which
mix is selected as well as the next
10 songs that are cued up. From
the player you can also open the Automator,
the Generator, Settings as well as
help with Bossa.
