6 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.)
6.1 Sharing Media with Windows Media Player
The most common UPnP server is Windows Media Player (10 or later. Viewing 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...).
5. 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 the box of "Name your media library". Click "OK" to close the
dialogue boxes.
6. 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.
