The Media Player allows you to play the following types
of audio files: AAC, AU, MP3, RM, WAV, WMA and playlists
(M3U) stored on a networked PC. It has been verified to
work on Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
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 OnAir 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’.
To be able to play music files that
you have stored on your PC via
the media player, please ensure
that:
The music files are one of the
allowed type of audio (see list
opposite).
Music files are not ‘protected’.
Music files are stored in the correct
location on your PC and ‘File
Sharing’ is switched on.
Music files can be shared on the
network.
For more information or help with
any of the above, please refer to
your PC/Windows XP instruction
manual or ‘Help’ section.
