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 like RD1363DAB 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 l ibrary is well-
tagged, then it is recommended to use media sharing Only the UPnP server needs to be set up.
Note: Tunes does not currently work as a UPnP media server, but there are add-ons available to
work with an iTunes library.

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 ibrary.).
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.
