progress bar with figures for elapsed and total track time. At the bottom of the

4.2 Each time you press Info , another set of information is displayed, cycling through:
●
UPnP: playback progress bar (default), album, codec/sampling rate, playback buffer
bar, today’s date
5. Setting up a music server
●
In orderfor POP World 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 POP World Radio C 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.
6. 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:
6.1 Ensure that the PC is connected to the network.
6.2 Ensure that the radio is powered on and connected to the same network.
6.3 In WMP, add to the media library the audio files and folders you want to share with
POP World Radio (Library > Add to Library…).
6.4 In WMP, enable media sharing (Library > Media
sharing…).
●
Make sure that the radio has access to the shared
media by selecting it and clicking Allow. You can
also set a name for the shared media in
Settings… 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.
