10.Once the radio has finished scanning, it will display ‘By Album’, 'By Artist', etc. Use the Select control to scroll through the scanned media files, which will now be organised ‘By Album’, ‘By Artist’ and ‘Playlists’
– if available.
Note that the first time the file scan is performed, a file called ‘.reciva_ media_cache’ is written to the folder where the audio files are stored. This file is created by the scanning software in order to speed up subsequent file scans.
In the event that your radio cannot connect to your PC or its shared folders it is most likely that your PC's firewall software is blocking access (see the section 'Troubleshooting' on page 53).
Set up a Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio files via a UPnP server
1.If your PC is running Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Vista then you can use Microsoft's Windows Media Player 11 (WMP 11) to act as your UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) media server. If not already installed on your PC, Windows Media Player 11 may be downloaded from Microsoft’s website and installed by following the instructions detailed in its installation wizard, or by using Microsoft's Windows Update facility.
2.Once installed, WMP 11 can create a library from all the media files available to it on your PC. To add new media files to the library, select 'File > Add to Library… > Advanced Options', click 'Add' and choose the files you wish to add and click ‘OK’.
You will now need to connect your Internet radio to Windows Media Player 11 and configure it to allow the radio to access your media library. In order to this, you will need to follow these next steps.
