18Using the Media Player

To be able to play music files that you have stored on your PC via the media player, please ensure that:

The music files are one of the allowed type of audio (see list opposite).

Music files are not ‘protected’.

Music files are stored in the correct location on your PC and ‘File Sharing’ is switched on.

Music files can be shared on the network.

For more information or help with any of the above, please refer to your PC/Windows XP instruction manual or ‘Help’ section.

The Media Player allows you to play the following types of audio files: AAC, AU, MP3, RM, WAV, WMA and playlists (M3U) stored on a networked PC. It has been verified to work on Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Set up your Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio files via Windows Shares

There are 2 ways of sharing audio files on your computer to be able to play them on your BT Internet radio. The first and simplest way, is using the ‘Windows Shares’ application on Windows XP or Windows 2000. This method of file sharing is best suited to compressed music files, for example .MP3 or

.WMA.

This method of file sharing is not recommended if your music files are stored as large, uncompressed files, for example .WAV files. If this is how your music is stored, we recommend you follow the second method of file sharing and refer to the section ‘Set up a Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio files via a UPnP server’.
