Media player basics

Using Windows Shares

The Media Player allows you to play audio ﬁles which are stored on a computer on your network. Supported ﬁle formats are MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, Real Audio, AU and playlists (M3U). Note that the playback of DRM protected content is not supported.

Your radio supports two ﬁle access methods. It can connect to folders shared on the network, commonly known as Windows Shares. It can also connect with ﬁle server applications using the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol.

All of the supported ﬁle types are playable in Windows Shares mode. When using a UPnP server, the playable ﬁle types are dependant on the server software used. For example, Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 can serve MP3, WMA and WAV ﬁles. To be able to play the other supported ﬁle types via UPnP you may need to install additional third-party software.

When using Windows Shares, music selection is by Artist, by Album and optionally by track within an Album. When using a UPnP server, the search and selection criteria are determined by the server, but typically include additional options such as Genre. Many server applications also allow you to access ﬁles according to the folders within which they are stored.

Note that the references to 'PC' in this section refer to any computer device that may be sharing content on your network, whether it is a Windows device, an Apple computer, a Linux device, or any other. We use the generic term 'PC' simply because it is short and convenient.

Setting up your Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio ﬁles via Windows Shares. If you wish to use UPnP, please turn to page 29.

1.Please ensure that your PC is available on the same network as your Internet radio. Using Windows Explorer, locate the folder where your audio ﬁles are stored.

2.Right click on the folder.

3.Select ‘Properties’.

4.Click on ‘Sharing’.

5.Select ‘Share this folder on the network’ and ‘Allow network users to change my ﬁles’.

Please note, do not try to make your ‘My Documents’ or any of its sub- folders (e.g. ‘My Music’) shareable.
