Music player Mode
In order for your radio to play music files from a computer, the computer must be set up to share
files or media.
The built-in Music player allows devices like this radio to play unprotected audio files (AAC, MP3,
WMA) 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 Player10 or later
(WMP), and your music library is well-tagged, then it is recommended to use media sharing.
Only the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) server needs to be set up. (iTunes does not currently work
as a UPnP media server.)
Sharing Media with Windows Media Player
The most common UPnP server is Windows Media Player (10 or later. View version from Help -
About Windows Media Player). 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 your radio
by selecting Organize - Manage Libraries - Music / Videos / Pictures / Recorded TV, click
‘Add’ to add audio files and folders and then click ‘OK’ to finish adding.
4. In WMP, enable media sharing (Stream - More streaming options…).
