Listening to Media player
This chapter explains how to use Siesta Flow in the 'Media player' source and enjoy the music stored
on your computer or NAS (network attached storage) box anywhere in your home. To use Siesta Flow
in the Media player source you'll need to connect the radio to your wireless network if you haven't
done so already (see Connecting Siesta Flow to your wireless network for the first time). You'll also
need to download the Flow Server software from connect.pure.com (you can also use another UPnP
server such as Windows Media Player 11). Finally, the music files stored on your PC or NAS box
must be in a compatible file format (see Chapter 8, Technical specifications for a list of supported file
formats).

3.1 Setting up Media player for the first time

First, install Flow Server on your PC or Mac
