Music Player (Upnp); (Playback From A Upnp Server) - Imperial DABMAN i550 CD Mode D'emploi

8. GENERAL OPERATION

8.7 Music player (UPnP)

(Playback from a UPnP server)

Server software running on a computer or other device lets you share music files
for network playback. In the case of the DABMAN i550 CD, it must be a UPnP compatible server (UPnP:
Universal Plug and Play) which provides the data.
A simple file share, as known from the Windows network world, is not readable this way.
In contrast to an inflexible static file sharing, the DABMAN i550 CD offers flexible sorting via a virtual UPnP
media server, which makes the manageability of your library more flexible by comparison: a track can be
found via the artist, the genre, the album and even by means of the folder structure.
The [Music player] menu item can be accessed via either the main menu or the Mode button, which can be
found both on your DABMAN i550 CD and on the remote control.
If you choose this option, you will be offered two icons:
Internet radio and music player.
In the music player menu, you can access media shared on your network and also set the playback mode.
Make your choice using the navigation dial or the 'Left/right' buttons of the
remote control. If you wait for too long, the screen with return to the main menu.

UPnP allows the user to receive data from the network. For example,
if you have shared your music collection on your computer with a
UPnP programme (e.g. Windows Media Player 11/12), you can
access and play tracks from the living room or kitchen with the
DABMAN i550 CD. If the music library is stored centrally on a
network hard drive (NAS), this even works without a computer.
As a network player, your radio then directly accesses the music
tracks on the drive.
