Audio streaming
This function enables you to play back tracks from a music archive
in MP3 and WMA format on the device.
The music archive can be a PC or an external hard drive and must
be administered by a UPnP server.
Selecting by artist and track, but also by album, genre, etc., depends
on the structure of the music archive and on the UPnP server soft-
ware in use (e.g. Nero Media Home, Windows Media Player 11).
Access times can lengthen depending on the size of the music
archive, and this makes using it inconvenient. While the UPnP server
is importing the complete music archive, the device can only be op-
erated in a limited fashion, if at all.
If the tracks in the music archive are stored with the ID3 tag format
(track, artist, album, genre, etc.), the information is also displayed on
the device. Tracks can then be selected using this information.
Depending on the configuration of the PC or the hard drive, the de-
vice 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.
