radio. There are other UPnP server solutions available for non-Windows
users and for Windows users who may wish to use an alternative (see
the preceding page).

select

'Artist'

'Include in library'
and then select
'Music'
. In
this way you can quickly add additional content to your music library.
2. In WMP 12, click on
'Stream'
(see picture at right) and then select
'Automatically allow devices to play my media'
. Then accept the
'Automatically allow all computer and media devices'
option. There
are other options (see overleaf) but this is the simplest if you just wish
to quickly enable media streaming to your radio.
3. Switch the radio on and press
Mode
until the
'Music Player'
mode is
shown. The main music player menu will then be displayed.
