SETTING UP A MUSIC SERVER
SHARING MEDIA WITH A MAC
In order to connect SUPERCD to your Apple Mac, a third party UPnP
server application is required. There are a number of applications
available to download from the Internet.
One such application is ‘Twonky Server’. This is an easy-to-install media
sharing application that enables SUPERCD to stream audio.
A free 30 day trial of Twonky Server (a licence can be purchased for
ongoing use directly through Twonky) can be downloaded from:
http://www.twonky.com
Once downloaded you should start the installer package and follow
instructions on screen. Once the installation is complete, you will
need to create a login for Twonky - you will be required to choose a
username and password as well as a valid e-mail address which will
need to be validated (by clicking through a link sent to that address).
When verifi ed you will then be logged in and you will be taken to the
default setup page. This will allow you to choose the server name that
will be shown on your SUPERCD as well as selecting your language and
also the folders where you music is stored. There is no need to change
any of the default folder settings unless your music library is not stored in
the default iTunes location.
You will then be taken to the ‘Twonky Server Settings’ page in your web
browser. This page will show the server status and gives further options
for customisation should you wish to do so. This page can be accessed
in the future by using the ‘Twonky’ menu located in the Menu bar at
the top of your main display.
Your Mac is now ready to stream music to your SUPERCD. Twonky will
automatically run in the background of your computer after each
boot up.
