How do I Play Music from My iPod?

The optional Docking Station for iPod® (MCCI40) lets you connect your iPod to the Director and play your iTunes music throughout your home.

Music is played directly from your iPod and available to all of your Wireless Home Audio devices.

1.Navigate to the Devices icon on the Controller, Director, or Conductor on-screen menu and select it on your remote by clicking OK.

2.A list of options will appear. You can now navigate through the music and audio on your iPod from the Controller, Director, or Conductor. Use the up and down buttons on the IR remote to navigate the list and press OK to select.

Audio is sorted by Playlist, Artist, Album, Genre, Track, Podcast, Composer, and AudioBook.

How Do I Play Music From My PC or iTunes Library?

Installing the Cisco Media Server software on your computer allows you to play music from your computer on your Director, Conductor, or Player. The Cisco Media Player software allows you to control playback of your Wireless Home Audio devices from your computer.

During installation of the Cisco Media software, the application allows you to include your My Music and iTunes libraries. This will share the content located in those folders with your Wireless Home Audio system when the Cisco Media Server is launched.

NOTE: Some iTunes files may not be available. Songs purchased from iTunes† may be protected with Digital Rights Management (DRM); DRM files cannot be played to your Wireless Home Audio devices directly from your PC. The optional Linksys by Cisco Docking Station for iPod (MCCI40) will allow you to connect your iPod to your Director or Conductor and play back all of the songs from your iPod.

††iTunes Plus files are not protected
