Operation Manual

Music Player

The Music Player mode plays audio les such as MP3s, AACs, WMAs or FLACs from a computer on the local network. In

order for the radio to play music les from a computer, the computer must be set up to share les or media.

UPnP media sharing allows devices like you 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 Player 10

or later (WMP), and you music library is well-tagged, then it is recommended to use media sharing. Only the UPnP server

needs to be set up. 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 les 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; there is no

need to start WMP explicitly.

Note: iTunes does not currently work as an UPnP media server, but there are add-ons available to work with an iTunes

library.
