2.1 Setting up a Music Server
In order for your radio play music files from a computer, the computer must be set up to share files or media.
UPnP media sharing allows devices like this radio to play music 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 server needs to be set up.
2.2 Sharing Media with Windows Media Player
The most common UPnP server is Windows Media Player (10 or later). 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 (Library > Add to
Library...).
4.
In WMP, enable media sharing (Library > Media sharing...).
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 Settings... 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.
