Media Player

Media player basics

The Media Player allows you to play audio files which are stored on a
computer on your network. Supported file formats are MP3, WMA,
AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, Real Audio, AU and playlists (M3U). Note that
the playback of DRM protected content is not supported.
Your radio supports two file access methods. It can connect to folders
shared on the network, commonly known as Windows Shares. It can
also connect with file server applications using the Universal Plug and
Play (UPnP) protocol.
All of the supported file types are playable in Windows Shares mode.
When using a UPnP server, the playable file types are dependant on the
server softwareused.Forexample Microsoft Windows Media Player 11
can serve MP3, WMA and WAV files. To be able to play the other
supported file types via UPnP you may need to install additional
third-party software.
When using Windows Shares, music selection is by Artist, by Album
and optionally by track within an Album. When using a UPnPserver,
the search and selection criteria are determined by the server, but
typically include additional options such as Genre. Many server
applications also allow you to access files according to the folders
within which they are stored.
Note that the references to 'PC' in this section refer to any computer
device that may be sharing content on your network, whether it is a
Windows device, an Apple computer, a Linux device, or any other. We
use the generic term 'PC' simply because it is short and convenient.
