It doesn't matter whether you are listening to an individual
song, radio station or playlist—simply press
to add
anything that's currently playing to your Favorites. To
remove
an
item
from
your
Favorites,
press—
... you guessed it.
You can open the Favorites list at any time quickly and easily by pressing the
button.
Tip: The presets are available as well as the Favorites list, and while both work with
files and radio stations, the idea is to use the presets rather for radio stations and
the Favorites for individual tracks, albums and playlists.

ALLSOUND III
You can share music files for playback in your network using special server software
running on a computer or other device. The ALLSOUND III requires an
UPnP-
compatible
server to provide it with files. A simple Windows file share is not readable.
Thanks to the included software, however, it will not be necessary for you to give up on
the folder structure that you may have spent years setting up.
Unlike inflexible static file shares, the ALLSOUND III offers a flexible sorting via a virtual
an UPnP media server that improves the flexibility of your collection—a track can be
found via the artist, genre, album or the folder structure. And don't worry, “setting up a
server” is not as much work as it was just a few short years ago. You can find many kind
of UPnP software like
TwonkyVision
on internet.
One advantage: you can run multiple UPnP servers within the same network—no need
for Dad to listen to Sis' tunes, and vice versa! Each active UPnP server appears
separately in the ALLSOUND III menu for fast, easy access.
If you have a MusicServer running in your network, you'll be
shown the main menu listing all available sources, including
your server, when you press the
button. Following the
default settings of the server software, the computer name
or network ID of the computer on which the server is
running will be displayed in parenthesis for the latter.
