SETTING UP A MUSIC SERVER
In order for the radio to play music files from a computer, the computer must be set up to share files or media.
UPnP media sharing allows devices like the radio to play music from a shared media library, navigating through
tag menus such as Artist, Album or Genre.
If you are running a suitable server system such as a PC with Windows Media Player 10 or later (WMP), and
your music library is well-tagged, then it is recommended to use media sharing. Only the UPnP server needs to
be set up.
NOTE: iTunes does not currently work as a UPnP media server, but there are add-ons available to work with an
iTunes library.
SHARING MEDIA WITH WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER
The most common UPnP server is Windows Media Player (10 or later). Alternatively, other UPnP platforms and
servers may be used. To set up WMP for media sharing, perform the following steps:
• Ensure that the PC is connected to the network.
• Ensure that the radio is powered on and connected to the same network.
• In WMP, add to the media library the audio files and folders you want to share with the radio:
Library > Add to Library.
• In WMP, enable media sharing:
Library > Media
sharing.
• Setup can differ depending on which version of WMP you have.
