6. ‘’Music Player’’ Mode
There are two Music Player modes available. Each of them requires different settings, and either one
can be used to playback music from a media server.
6.1 Shared folders (CIFS)
In order to set up the device to playback music stored on shared network drives, user name,
password and domain settings must be configured to work with the PC share settings. This is only
required if the user has set a password on his/her shared folders.
6.1.1 PC : Domain/Workgroup configuration
The Domain configuration item can be found on a Windows XP machine as follows:
1. From the ‘’Start’’ menu, select ‘’Control Panel’’ > ‘’System’’ then select the “Computer Name
Tab”.
2. The Domain or Workgroup that this Computer is a member of is displayed in this tab.
3. If the PC is not a member of any Domain or Workgroup, then one must be join ed. To do this
click on the ‘’Change’’ button on the computer name tab and enter the name of the domain
(default on Windows XP is ‘’MSHOME’’).
4. A reboot of the PC may be prompted if the Domain or Workgroup has been changed.

Page 14
WIFI RADIO DAB/DAB+ WITH IPOD DOCK INSTRUCTION MANUAL - ENGLISH
6.1.2 PC : Setting up a new user account (Windows XP)
The radio may require you to setup a user account on each PC that you wish to browse. By default
most PCs have at least one user account associated with it. The user name and password (optional)
needs to be the same on each PC as the Internet radio only stores one user name and one password.
For windows XP this can be set up as follows:
1. From the ‘’Start’’ menu, select ‘’Control Panel’’ -> ‘’User accounts’’
2. From this screen left click ‘‘Add …’’, and enter the new user name and the
Domain/Workgroup setting noted above. Select the type of user (restricted) and then select
‘’Finish’’.
3. Select the user just created, and select ‘‘Reset Password …’’ and enter a password for this
user.
4. Note the User Name and Password.
Note for Windows VISTA : Users have to turn on the ‘’Guest account’’ via ‘’Manage user accounts’’
in the ‘’Control Panel’’ in VISTA, then add access to either ‘’Everyone’’ or ‘‘Guest’’ on the shared drive.
They could create a new account for the internet radio, with a password, if they are concerned about
security. The Guest account has no password by default, so the WiFi radio will connect to it from its
factory default settings.
6.1.3 PC: Configuring a shared drive
From the ‘’Start’’ menu select ‘’My Computer’’ and navigate to the directory you wish to share. Right
click on the directory and select ‘’Sharing and Security’’. Configure the shared drive as read only, and
ensure that the User Name created above has read access to the share.
6.1.4 WiFi Radio : Storing the username and password
Before the radio can stream music from a PC, you need to ensure you have shared folder available
on the PC, and set up the radio so that it knows the username and password (if one has been set) for
the shared folder on the PC. This can be set up using the ‘’PC Settings’’ menu (‘’System Settings’’ >
‘’Internet setup’’ > ‘’PC settings’’). (Figure 9)
Figure 9 : Navigating to the PC Settings menu
Page 13
Page 15
WIFI RADIO DAB/DAB+ WITH IPOD DOCK INSTRUCTION MANUAL - ENGLISH
6.2 Shared media (UPnP)
Media sharing uses Windows Media Player (WMP) 11 and above as the media server. This mode
does not require any settings changes on the radio, but the PC needs to be configured to allow the
radio access to the media. You will only have to do this once, following the below steps.
(WMP 11 : http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx
1. The PC must be connected to wireless network that will be used to share media with the
radio.
2. Ensure that the radio is powered on and connected to the same network as the PC.
3. In WMP, add to the media library the audio files and folders you want to share with your
internet radio (in ‘’Library’’ -> ‘’Add to Library’’).
4. In the WMP main window, click on ‘’Library’’, then ‘’Media Sharing’’.
)
5. Tick the ‘’Share my media to’’ box, then click ‘’Settings’’.
