Integrating Your Music Collection
There are several possibilities for you to
integrate your music collection into the
Raumfeld system.
Copying music onto the
Raumfeld Base
If you have a Raumfeld Base, you can
save your music collection on the internal
hard drive of the Base.
When connected with your local network,
the Base appears as a shared folder in
your file management programme:
• In your Windows® Explorer, you
can find the Raumfeld Base under
“Network”,
• and in the Mac OS Finder in the
sidebar under “Shared”.
Simply use your file management
programme to copy music onto the Base.
After your music collection has been
copied onto the Raumfeld Base, it automa-
tically appears under “My music”, without
any further configuration.
Copying music onto a USB
storage device
Copy your music collection onto a USB
flash drive or a USB hard disk, and
connect it to the host of your Raumfeld
system. To find out which device is the host
of your Raumfeld system, go to “Settings >
Network > Host configuration”.
Your music collection appears without
further configuration shortly after you
have plugged the USB storage device into
the host of your Raumfeld system.
Sharing music on your
network
Music that has been shared on the
network can easily be integrated into the
Raumfeld system. There are various ways
of sharing music on your network:
• You can share music files that are
saved on a PC via media sharing in
the Windows Media Player. Alter-
natively, you can use another media
server software for your PC.
• If you prefer not to use any media
server software, or have a Mac, you
can share the music file through file
sharing.
• A network storage device allows you
to share music on your network even
while the computer is switched off
(for example NAS or network router
with integrated hard drive / connec-
tion facility for USB memories).
In all cases it is necessary to add the
shared file under “Settings > Music
resources” as a music resource.
