In order for the radio to play music files from a computer, the computer must be set up to share files or media. UPnP media
sharing allows devices like the radio to play music from a shared media library, navigating through tag menus such as Artist,
Album or Genre.
If you are running a suitable server system such as a PC with Windows Media Player 10 or later (WMP), and your music
library is well-tagged, then it is recommended to use media sharing. Only the UPnP server needs to be set up.
NOTE: iTunes does not currently work as a UPnP media server, but there are add-ons available to work with an iTunes
library.
SHARING MEDIA WITH WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER
The most common UPnP server is Windows Media Player (10 or later). Alternatively, other UPnP platforms and servers may
be used. To set up WMP for media sharing, perform the following steps:
• Ensure that the PC is connected to the network.
• Ensure that the radio is powered on and connected to the same network.
• In WMP, add to the media library the audio files and folders you want to share with the radio: "
Library > Add to Library ".
• In WMP, enable media sharing: " Library > Media sharing ".
• Setup can differ depending on which version of WMP you have.
• Make sure that the radio has access to the shared media by selecting it and clicking Allow. Click "OK" to close the
dialogue boxes.
• The PC is now ready to stream the music to the radio.
• The WMP UPnP service runs in the background; there is no need to start WMP explicitly.
