Unlike inflexible static file shares, the iRadio offers a flexible sorting via a virtual a UPnP media server that
improves the flexibility of your collection—a track can be found via the artist, genre, album or the folder
structure. And don't worry—"setting up a server" is not as much work as it was just a few short years ago.
Just launch the UPnP media server software and you're ready to go!
One advantage: you can run multiple UPnP servers within the same network—no need for Dad to listen to
Sis' tunes or vice-versa. Each active UPnP server appears separately in the NOXON menu for fast, easy
access.
If you have a media server running in your network, you'll be shown the
main menu listing all available sources, including your server, when you
press the
button. In the default settings of the server software, the
computer name or network ID of the computer on which the server is
running will be displayed in parenthesis for the latter.
Navigate to the right and you will be shown this overview of available
tracks.
These items are generated by the media server software based on the
available title information of the music files.
