SETTING UP A MUSIC SERVER
In order for DAB+/DAB/FM/Internet Radio to play music files from a computer, the computer must be
set up to sharefiles or media.
UPnP media sharing allows devices like DAB+/DAB/FM/Internet 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 your music library is
well-tagged, then it is recommended to use media sharing. Only the UPnP server needs to be set up.
Note: iTunes does not currently work as a UPnP media server, but there are add-ons available to work
with an iTunes library.
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:
01 ensure that the PC is connected
to the network.
02 ensure that the radio is powered
on and connected to the same
network.
03 In WmP, add to the media library
the audio files and folders you
want to share with
DAB+/DAB/FM/Internet Radio
(library > add to library…)
04 In WmP, enable media sharing
(library > media sharing…)
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.
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.
