left off.
5. I can't share a folder , as the option is not highlighted:
The share folder option will not be available until you have turned simple file sharing on. Run
the wizard.
Scan Error:
When the internet radio is scanning the content of the folders on a PC, it is possible that a
scan error may occur if the windows file sharing application times out. This is most likely to
occur if both the PC with the media content and the Internet Radio are connected wirelessly.
Try re-connecting the PC with the media content into the network via cable. This will
dramatically increase the speed at which the Internet Radio is able to scan the content of the
Media PC.
Playlists:
Some media ripping applications allow 'Playlists' to be created. The Internet Radio is able to
detect and stream these playlists, but they must be stored in the folder with the rest of the
Media content and they must have the file extension.m3u.
Windows Media player can create suitable playlist, just select 'create new playlist', drag and
drop the tracks you want into the playlist, then use 'Save as' to ensure the file type is .m3u.
(Existing play lists can be opened and re-saved in this format) When the Internet Radio
detects you have playlists, it will enable a new menu option allowing the playlist to be
selected and added to the queue.
If you re-connect to another PC of folder, which does not have any Playlists in the .m3u.
format, the playlist option will not be presented in the menu.
6. If the Internet Radio keeps re-buffering radio station:
- The Internet Radio is streaming the data from the radio station via your broadband
connection, if there is a high error rate on your broadband connection, or the connection is
intermittent, then it will cause the Internet Radio to pause until the connection is re-
established and it has received enough data to start playing again.
- If your Internet Radio keeps stopping, please check the DSL modem to ensure that the
Broadband line is not suffering a high error rate or disconnections. If you are experiencing
these problems, you will need to contact your broadband supplier.
7. What is Buffering?
When playing a stream, the Internet Radio/Media player, downloads a small amount of the
stream before it starts playing. This is used to fill in any gaps in the stream that may occur if
the internet or the wireless network is busy.
The Internet Radio streams music data from the PC while you are listening. If a stream gets
blocked or experiences Internet congestion while transferring it may stop/interfere with the
quality of play. If this happens, check your internet connection speed- it must be faster than
the speed of the streams.
