Shared Folder
The Windows Media Player 11 allows you to play audio files that are
stored on a computer or a computer on your network.
Your radio supports two file access methods. It can connect to Shared
Folders on the network. It can also connect with file server applications
using the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol known as
Shared Media.
All of the supported file types are playable in Windows Shares mode.
When using a UPnP server, the playable file types are dependant on the
server software used. For example, Microsoft Windows Media Player11
can serve MP3, WMA and WAV files. To be able to play the other
supported file types via UPnP you may need to install additional
third-party software.
When using Windows Shares, music selection is by Artist,
by Album and optionally by track within an Album. When using a Shared
Media UPnP server, the search and selection criteria are determined by
the server, but typically include additional options such as Genre.
Many server applications also allow you to access files according to the
folders within which they are stored.
