Media Player Quickstart Guide

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

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.
