Accessing your audio files via a UPnP server

If your computer is running Windows 7, then Windows Media Player version

12includes a UPnP server which will make your fi les available to your radio. If you have Windows Vista or XPplease see page 89.There are other UPnP server solutions available for non-Windows users and for Windows users who may wish to use an alternative (see the preceding page).

It is beyond the scope of this instruction book to cover all possible options for UPnP. We explain the use of Microsoft's Windows Media Player here since that will be the fi rst choice for the majority of users.

Set up UPnP access with Windows Media Player 12

1.Windows Media Player 12 (referred to here as WMP 12) can create a library from all the media fi les available to it on your PC. To add new media fi les to the library, select 'Library', then 'Music', then 'All music' or 'Artist', 'Album' etc. This will show you the current library contents. You may then simply drag and drop fi les from other locations into the library. Alternatively, with media fi les or folders on the screen, you may right-click on the fi le or folder and select 'Include in library' and then select 'Music'. In this way you can quickly add additional content to your music library.

2.In WMP 12 , click on 'Stream' (see picture at right) and then select 'Automatically allow devices to play my media'. Then accept the 'Automatically allow all computer and media devices' option. There are other options (see overleaf) but this is the simplest if you just wish to quickly enable media streaming to your radio.

3.Press the On/Standby control and select the My Music mode button from the home menu screen. The main 'Music Player' menu will then be displayed.
