PEER TO PEER MUSIC SHARING
The MS300 contains a special music sharing feature that allows
two MS300 Music Servers located on the same network to share
their music library into two independent zones. The Music Guide
from the second MS300 is merged into the Music Guide of the
first MS300 to create one seamless Music Guide for browsing and
playing all of your music. This effectively can double the capacity
of your MS300 using one MS300 as the master and one as a second
zone or “slave” server.
You can connect any combination of two MS300 Music Servers that
have been upgraded to the latest MS300 Features Package.
Follow these steps to connect your MS300 to another MS300
Music Server:
1. Press the SETUP key on the remote.
2. Select the Network menu.
3. Select the Remote Server Connection menu.
4. Select one of the available MS300 servers from the server
list.
5. Select the Save button to save your selection.
When you return to the Music Guide you will have access to all
your music from both MS300s merged into one Music Guide. The
“Location” field in the Music Guide will show you where each
music title is located.
Repeat the above steps using the other MS300 to access the first
MS300’s music from the second MS300.
