Note:
Do not worry if not all of your media appear in the menus immediately. Windows Media Player needs to look inside each file to identify the artist, album and track information from 'tags' embedded in each file. Additionally, Windows Media Player may take time to access the Internet to obtain additional information such as 'album art' which it can display when you examine your music library on your PC.
In UPnP mode the search criteria offered and the file types made available to the radio are a function of the UPnP server software installed on your PC. Such software can vary quite widely in its capabilities. Windows Media Player 11 has limited flexibility compared to some UPnP servers, but is generally easy to set up and reliable
Some third party server applications allow customisation of the search criteria and indexing methods, which can be useful if you have a very large collection of stored music files.
Many UPnP server applications are also capable of sharing pictures and video files to other network connected devices. If this is the case (as it is with Windows Media Player 11) you may see the option of choosing between 'Music', 'Video' and 'Pictures' on your radios menu. Clearly you should only select the 'Music' option. Content offered via the alternative options will not be playable on your radio.
