Audio streaming
This function enables you to play back tracks from a music archive
in MP3 and WMA format on the Ovation 2i.
The music archive can be a PC or an external hard drive and must
be administered by a UPnP server.
The selection according to folders and tracks depends on the struc-
ture of the music archive and on the UPnP server software in use (e.g.
Nero Media Home, Windows Media Player 11). Access times can
lengthen depending on the size of the music archive this may make
usage inconvenient. Operation is either not possible or restricted
while the UPnP server completely reads the music archive.
If the tracks in the music archive are stored with the ID3 tag format
(track, artist, album, genre, etc.), this information is also displayed
on the Ovation 2i, and these tracks can be selected using this
information.
Depending on the configuration of the PC or the hard drive, the
Ovation 2i must be enabled on the PC or the hard drive. The UPnP
server must be approved in any firewalls that may be installed.
Several UPnP servers can be used in parallel.
