BT Internet Radio - Manual (Page 18)

Internet Radio – New Style – Edition 5 – 21.09.06 – 7690
The Media Player allows you to play the following types of
audio files: AAC, AU, MP3, RM, WAV, WMA and playlists
(M3U) stored on a networked PC. It has been verified to work
on Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Set up your Windows PC to allow the
radio to access your audio files via
Windows Shares
There are 2 ways of sharing audio files on your computer to
be able to play them on your BT Internet radio. The first and
simplest way, is using the ‘Windows Shares’ application on
Windows XP or Windows 2000. This method of file sharing is
best suited to compressed music files, for example .MP3 or
.WMA.
This method of file sharing is not recommended if your music
files are stored as large, uncompressed files, for example .WAV
files. If this is how your music is stored, we recommend you
follow the second method of file sharing and refer to the
section ‘Set up a Windows PC to allow the radio to access
your audio files via a UPnP server’.
To be able to play music files that you
have stored on your PC via the media
player, please ensure that:
The music files are one of the allowed
type of audio (see list opposite).
Music files are not ‘protected’.
Music files are stored in the correct
location on your PC and ‘File Sharing’
is switched on.
Music files can be shared on the
network.
For more information or help with any
of the above, please refer to your
PC/Windows XP instruction manual or
‘Help’ section.
