Joining a Public Server
What’s a Public Server?
By now you should know that a Server provides rooms where musicians enter to play music. Public Servers are provided for free for anyone to join by Generous People. They are very few and may be located all around the world. The most used are ninjamer.com and ninbot.com.
Joining a Public Server is very easy. Just click the ENTER button of the Server you want to join in the Main Page. Each Server has a LISTEN and an ENTER button.
If you’re not sure what kind of music is being played inside the Room then, before entering, press the LISTEN button to know if the jam suits your style and skill. You will be able to listen in real time.
Once you click the ENTER button Jamtaba will ask you to type a name or alias for others to identify you. A suggestion matching your computer’s name will appear, but you can type any name you want up to 16 characters using letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores. If you use the spacebar, the spaces will be replaced for underscores.
This must be done only once and the name you choose will be saved for later use. Another way to enter your user name is to type it directly in the user name’s box. This box can be used to change your user name when not connected to a server, but it will be locked if you try to change it during during a live session.
Now before we explain what’s inside a Server, let’s check out another way to join a room. The Private Server.
