3.4.3 Folder sharing

In Windows Vista, your music content must be placed in the public music
folder (the location of which is as instructed below) for your music to be
shared over a network correctly. If you use iTunes or other software to
create your MP3’s, you need to change the settings of your software so
the public music folder is your default folder that content is ripped to.

allow the 640H to access it. To do this, double click on the
“Computer” icon on the desktop.

This is usually “Local Disk (C:)”:
