Field notes
The described workflow moves from claiming a virtual Boll to watching a song develop in parts and takes, then sharing selected tracks to PBOLL FM. The station’s rating scale runs from 1 to 16 notes, and the virtual viewing window is specified as 150×100 pixels. The homepage also describes a physical version and accessories, but the extract does not establish their availability.
