The TerraPlayer and the Internet
It is highly recommended that you have an Internet connection available to the Base
Transceiver—either through the computer to which it is connected, or over the network.
Several programs in the TerraPlayer Utility Suite utilize an Internet connection to
download Music Information and album cover icons from the web to ensure you have
album cover icons for all available albums.
The Buy Now feature also requires an Internet connection. Once you’ve marked an
album with Buy Now using the remote control, then double checked which albums you’d
like to purchase through the Utility Suite’s Librarian, the system will add those items
over the Internet to your shopping cart at Amazon for you to purchase the next time you
visit the site.
Shared Music Folders
Any folders containing audio files must be set up as shared folders to be accessed by a
TerraPlayer. When you install the TerraPlayer Utility Suite, the installation program
automatically runs the Configuration Wizard to search for folders containing audio files
and configure them as shared directories. Folders can also be manually configured as
shared.
Helpful
Hint
Use the Find Music feature on the TerraPlayer Utility Suite Installation
CD-ROM to create shared folders. If you are running one of the
compatible Windows operating systems and want to create shared folders
without installing the TerraPlayer Utility Suite, you can run the Find Music
feature directly off the TerraPlayer Utility Suite Installation CD-ROM to
automatically create shared folders.
) Refer to Find Audio Files and Create Shared Folders on page 74 for information on using
the Configuration Wizard from the TerraPlayer Utility Suite CD-ROM.
Example – Setting up Shared Folders in Windows 2000
In Windows 2000, you would select the existing folder containing the music files to be
shared, such as the ‘My Tunes’ folder shown here. Then, right-click on the folder and
select Sharing… The Properties windows will open on the Sharing tab, where you can
select Share this Folder to configure it for file sharing. This setup may vary between
Windows versions.
