computer on the local network or from a USB Flash stick/hard drive.

.
Once in music player mode, press Menu, then select either
Shared

.
If you are already playing a music file, you can press Back rather than Menu to quickly return to the last visited
branch of the menu tree. For example, suppose you were listening to the track
Heat
by the artist
50 Cent
through
browsing shared media as described in section 5.1 below. Pressing Back would return you to the track listing for
the album

. Pressing Back again would list all
50 Cent
albums. Pressing Back again would
list all album artists, and so on.

5.1 Shared media (from UPnP media server)
Select Menu >
Shared media >
If you have set up shared media (as described on page 13), you should see an entry consisting of
<computer
name>
:
<Shared media name>
, for example
JB-Laptop: Audio
. If you have more than one computer sharing
media, the alternatives are listed. Select the shared media you want to play.
From this point on, the menus are generated from the shared
media server (typically Windows Media Player). The first menu
shows a list of media types, for example Music, Video, Pictures
and Playlists. WF900i can only play music and playlists.
There is also a search function, which finds tracks in a similar
way to Internet radio search, as described on page 16.
From Music, there are numerous ways of selecting tracks, including:
Genre,
Artist,
Album,
Composer,
Rating.
Once you have found a track you want to play, press Select . A short press plays the track immediately and a
long press adds the track to the playlist. You can also add entire albums to the playlist.
WF900i plays either the selected track or the playlist.
