UPnP Servers
Setting up UPnP Server in PC
1. Use Windows Media Player 11(or 12 if you use Windows 7)to setup
the PC as an UPnP Sever, click the ‘Library’ tab from Windows Media
Player 11 and select ‘Media Sharing’ to open the ‘Media Sharing’
window to set the option.

Note: As of this writing, Windows Media Player 11 does not support
AAC decoding used by Apple as the default selection in iTunes. We
recommend that you change the default import setting to WAV, AIFF,
