5. Whenever I enter my media folder , the internet radio rescans the
content of the folder:
Although the folder with your music in it is shared , it is ‘write protected’, so the
Internet Radio cannot save a list of the folder’s content back onto the PC, as it
needs to rescan each time.
Tick the box that allows the Folder to be modified across the network.
6. Although I can see my music files in the folder, I cannot play them and
the Internet Radio says they are ‘Protected’:
When you copied the music files to the hard drive you had ‘Personal Rights
management’ turned on, this protects the files from being played by a third party
device like the Internet Radio, you will need to copy the music files again, but with
the protection turned off.
You are trying to play I-Tune files which have been purchased from the I-Tunes on
line store, these are protected and can only be played on an I-Pod. Locally
created or ‘ripped’ files for I-Pods can be played as they do not carry the extra
layer of Media Protection.
7. I can access the PC with my Media, but when I change to the Use
Account, I cannot see the folder , although it is shared when I check my
PC:
The Alternative account on the machine may be Private. If when the account was
created, the ‘Make this account Private’ option was selected, then the contents of
this account cannot be seen over the network. You will need to move the music
to an accessible account.
8. I can’t share a folder , as the option is not highlighted:
The share folder option will not be available until you have turned simple file
sharing on. Run the wizard.
Scan Error:
When the internet radio is scanning the content of the folders on a PC, it is
possible that a scan error may occur if the windows file sharing application times
out. This is most likely to occur if both the PC with the media content and the
Internet Radio are connected wirelessly.
Try re-connecting the PC with the media content into the network via cable. This
will dramatically increase the speed at which the Internet Radio is able to scan the
content of the Media PC.
Playlists:
Some media ripping applications allow ‘Playlists’ to be created. The Internet Radio
is able to detect and stream these playlists, but they must be stored in the folder
with the rest of the Media content and they must have the file extension.m3u.
Windows Media player can create suitable playlist, just select ‘create new playlist’,
drag and drop the tracks you want into the playlist, then use ‘Save as’ to ensure
the file type is .m3u. (Existing play lists can be opened and re-saved in this format)
