Music Server Recommended

Media
Connect Windows XP
with SP2 A free media server from Microsoft, available October 2004.
Works with any music jukebox, but optimized for Windows Media

purchased from any Microsoft-compatible music store.)
Musicmatch
Jukebox Windows 98
SE/Me/XP/2000

UPnP AV server supported by SoundBridge 2.0 software. (You can
also use Windows Media Connect, a more feature-rich server, with
Musicmatch.)
iTunes PC/Mac SoundBridge has always included support for iTunes’ built-in music
server. It works great, but iTunes does not currently allow access to
“protected” Apple Music Store content.
WinAmp Windows When used with a plugin from twonkyvision, WinAmp enables
streaming of Internet radio to SoundBridge.
SlimServer PC/Mac Compatible with SoundBridge, but not supported by Roku. Requires
download of SlimServer software.

II. Hooking Up Your Home Network Hardware (Wired Ethernet or Wireless)
Please remove the left end cap of your SoundBridge to connect your Ethernet cable or your
wireless adapter (never both at once; connecting both may cause your connection not to
work). Note that both end caps have a hole for routing your cables toward the back of the unit.
Wireless Connection: Insert the Wi-Fi adapter card (included with most SoundBridge models)
into into SoundBridge. It should be inserted into the CompactFlash card slot with the Roku
label facing toward the back of the unit, and toward the Ethernet jack. Close the end cap by
snapping it securely into place.
Ethernet Connection: Plug your cable into the jack provided. Connect your Ethernet cable
to a hub, switch or router in your home network. Alternatively, you can connect SoundBridge
directly to your computer (and bypass a hub/switch/router), but only with a “crossover” cable
(not included). Close the end cap by snapping it securely into place. Connect the other end of
the cable to your network.
Please note that not all wireless CF adapters are compatible with SoundBridge. If your unit
did not include a Wi-Fi adapter, Roku offers a compatible adapter for sale on our web store,
www.rokulabs.com/buy. There you can also find a list of supported wireless CF adapters and
wireless network access points.
