5.This now brings up four settings that you can change: "Friendly name", "File location", "User name" and "Password".

6.For the Friendly name, you can enter anything you like to denote your selection. For example, if you have chosen to add your whole collection to the 640H, it could be "My Mac Music". If you only add a particular artist, album etc, then it could be the name of the artist or album.

7.The File location, as the name suggests, is where you enter the location of your MP3 music on your computer. The way you enter the file location is as follows: \\Computer name\account name\shared music folder name, i.e. \\lounge\Joe Bloggs\music. Please note: the Computer Name can only be 15 characters maximum including spaces. If your Computer Name is over this, when you put the file location in the 640H, you only need to put the first 15 characters in, e.g. andrews computer, would actually be andrews compute in the file location.

8.It is possible to add many locations to your 640H either from different network devices or from the same network device (i.e. Mac). This also means you can add different folders to your 640H content from within your main Music folder. To do this, for example, say you have music on your computer in folders called "Aerosmith" and "Robbie Williams", that exist in your MP3 folder, if you want to add these folders individually, you enter (using the lounge example above): \\lounge\Joe Bloggs\music\Aerosmith and \\lounge\Joe Bloggs\music\Robbie Williams. Note: You have to go through the process "Adding Content to your 640H from your Mac" as described here for each location you want to add.

9.The user name and password of the account on your Mac needs to be added to the 640H for you to be allowed access:

10.Select the "Scan" button and then select "Start." This will then scan your computer and create a database in the 640H listing the contents of the Mac. Note: The actual music file does not get transferred. This is done in two stages: "scanning content" and "updating the database." Both can take a long time depending on the amount of songs you have in your collection. When the process is completed, you will see the computer contents in your music library.
