Supported music file types

We recommend that you use the highest definition files 

possible for best audio performance. Smaller compressed files 

can still sound good but contain much less audio data. You 

will be able to play most file formats including:

We do not support WMA or DRM files.

A full description of file formats and their strengths and 

weaknesses is available at

Step 5 

Search for music libraries

The Desktop Controller will automatically search for the 

default iTunes library stored on your computer. If your Desktop 

Controller does not detect a music library automatically, 

perhaps its default location has changed.

 

If this happens you 

can search for it manually.

If you want to access a library manually, select 

Access new 

library

 then navigate to any folder on your computer where 

music may be stored. Select the library you wish to access, 

ensure the check box is ticked and press 

next

 to start 

indexing. Press 

Finish

 at any time to complete the setup.

Music will appear in your Desktop Controller as it is being 

indexed.

What kind of music libraries can I add?

You can access iTunes libraries, Windows Media Player 

folder libraries and many other folder-based libraries. 

Set up your Desktop Controller

Do we move, copy or change music?

It’s good to know that your Desktop Controller will never 

move, copy or change music, wherever it’s stored. Instead 

it creates a list of all the music libraries it can find (this is 

called indexing). It presents them to you in the main 

window of your Desktop Controller.
