    • Ensure your chosen UPnP server software is capable of serving the file type you are trying to access. Some servers do not serve FLAC for instance. • Evo can only play non DRM files. Files that have DRM controls cannot be played by Evo. Some servers may be able to authorise and de-crypt Microsoft PlaysForSure before then serving the content to Evo, but this operation is not guaranteed as it is purely a function of the server.
  • Page 23 • Check your device format is supported by Evo. • The way you organise your USB media affects how efficiently Evo can browse the content. A good practice is to create folders for Artists within which you should have subfolders for each Album which then contain the tracks for that Album. Libraries with thousands of tracks in one folder will progressively slow down Evo's media browsing.
