8. Press the
Tuning Up
or
Down
buttons to highlight the media fi les that
you wish to play and then press the
Select
button.
Note:
Do not worry if not all of your media appear in the menus immediately.
Windows Media Player needs to look inside each fi le to identify the artist,
album and track information from 'tags' embedded in each fi le. Additionally,
Windows Media Player may take time to access the Internet to obtain
additional information such as 'album art' which it can display when you
examine your music library on your PC.
In UPnP mode the search criteria offered and the fi le types made available
to the clock radio are a function of the UPnP server software installed on
your PC. Such software can vary quite widely in its capabilities. Windows
Media Player 11 has limited fl exibility compared to some UPnP servers,
but is generally easy to set up and reliable.
Some third party server applications allow customisation of the search
criteria and indexing methods, which can be useful if you have a very
large collection of stored music fi les.
Many UPnP server applications are also capable of sharing pictures and
video fi les to other network connected devices. If this is the case (as it
is with Windows Media Player 11) you may see the option of choosing
between 'Music', 'Video' and 'Pictures' on your radios menu. Clearly you
should only select the 'Music' option. Content offered via the alternative
options will not be playable on your clock radio.
9. The clock radio will display '[Add to Queue]'. Press the
Select
button
and the clock radio will add all the tracks in the album to its queue
and begin playing them automatically.
