Media Player

Using Windows Shares

The Media Player allows you to play audio fi les which are stored on a computer on your network. Supported fi le formats are MP3 and WMA. Note that the playback of DRM protected content and WMA Lossless fi les is not supported.

Your radio supports two fi le access methods. It can connect to folders shared on the network, commonly known as Windows Shares. It can also connect with fi le server applications using the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol. It is generally preferable to access your media fi les via a UPnP server application. This method offers normally simpler set up and superior fi le searching compared to the Shared Folders method.

When using Windows Shares, music selection is primarily by the folders in which the fi les are stored. You may then choose to play from a particular track within a folder. When using a UPnP server, the search and selection criteria are determined by the server, but typically includeArtist,Album and Genre. Many server applications also allow you to access fi les according to the folders within which they are stored as well as other criteria.

If you are a Windows user, then it is very likely that your computer already has a UPnPserver application available. Windows Media Player version 11 has this capability, and it is able to make your MP3 and WMAfi les available to your radio. It also allows you to search by Album, Artist, and so on as mentioned above. Many users will fi nd this a more convenient method of playing their fi les compared to using shared folders. Both methods are described in this instruction manual.

Users of non-Windows computers (including Apple and Linux based devices) can also use Shared Folders or a UPnP server to make media available to the radio. However, it is beyond the scope of this instruction manual to cover all hardware and software environments. We explain the use of Microsoft's Windows Media Player since that will be the fi rst choice for the majority of users.

This section describes setting up your Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio fi les via Windows Shares. If you wish to use UPnP, please turn to page 34.

1.Please ensure that your PC is accessible on the same network as your Internet radio. Then, using Windows Explorer, locate the folder where your audio fi les are stored.

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 fi les’.

Please note, it is recommended that you do not try to make your ‘My Documents’ or any of its sub-folders (e.g. ‘My Music’) accessible as shares. This is because of the way that these special folders are managed within Windows.

In some cases, especially if you have a Windows PC using third-party security software (not supplied by Microsoft) it may be necessary to confi gure your computer's fi rewall software and / or network settings to permit fi le sharing. If this is necessary please refer to your computers software documentation for further information.
