Listening to Media player
This chapter explains how to use EVOKE Flow in the 'Media player' source and enjoy the music stored
on your computer or NAS (network attached storage) box anywhere in your home. To use EVOKE
Flow in the Media player source you'll need to connect the radio to your wireless network if you
haven't done so already (see Connecting EVOKE Flow to your wireless network for the first time). You'll
also need to download the Flow Server software from www.thelounge.com (you can also use another
UPnP server such as Windows Media Player 11). Finally, the music files stored on your PC or NAS box
must be in a compatible file format (see Chapter 9, Technical specifications for a list of supported file
formats).

First, install Flow Server on your PC or Mac
Flow Server is a UPnP media server that enables you to share all your music files with EVOKE Flow
and other UPnP-enabled devices throughout your home. It's available as a free download when you
register at the Lounge.

details and then follow the instructions in the Connection Guide to download and install the
Flow Server application on your system.*
2 During the installation process, follow the on-screen instructions to locate the music files stored
on your computer and share them over your wireless network.

switched on or in 'hibernate' mode.
