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’.
