RAC 02 + Media Player
20 Setting up a music server
In order for the unit to play music files from a computer, the computer must be set up to share files
or media.
UPnP media sharing allows devices to play music from a shared media library, navigating through
tag menus such as Artist, Album or Genre. If you are running a suitable server system such as a
PC with Windows Media Player 10 or later (WMP),
and your music library is well-tagged, then it is recommended to use media sharing. Only the
UPnP server needs to be set up.
20.1 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:
- Ensure that the PC is connected to the network.
- Ensure that the radio is powered on and connected to the same network.
- In WMP, add to the media library the audio files and folders you want to share with the
unit (Library > Add to Library…).
- 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.
