3.4 Sharing and Streaming Media
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:
1. Ensure that the PC is connected to the network.
2. Ensure that the radio is powered on and connected to the same network.
3. In WMP, add to the media library the audio files and folders you want to share with the unit
(
Library > Add to Library
…).
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.
