Music Player Mode
Music player mode plays audio files such as MP3s, AACs, WMAs or
FLACs from a computer on the local network.
To enter Music player mode, either press Mode until the display
shows Music player or select Menu > Main menu > Music player.
Once in music player mode, press Menu, then select Shared media.
Note: Scansonic R4S does not have USB playback as shown on the
above image.
If you are already playing a music file, you can press Back rather than Menu to quickly return to the
last visited branch of the menu tree. For example, suppose you were listening to the track Heat by
the artist 50 Cent through browsing shared media as described in the section below. Pressing Back
would return you to the track listing for the album Get Rich or Die Tryin'. Pressing Back again would
list all 50 Cent albums. Pressing Back again would list all album artists, and so on.
You can use << and >> to move through tracks. Press and hold to rewind or fast forward and press
quickly to select previous or next track.
SHARED MEDIA (FROM UPNP MEDIA SERVER)
Select Menu > Shared media
If you have set up shared media (as described under Sharing media with Windows Media Player),
you should see an entry consisting of <computer name>: <Shared media name>, for example JB-
Laptop: Audio. If you have more than one computer sharing media, the alternatives are listed. Select
the shared media you want to play.
From this point on, the menus are generated from the shared media server (typically Windows Media
Player). The first menu shows a list of media types, for example Music, Video, Pictures and Playlists.
Scansonic R4S can only play music and playlists.
There is also a search function, which finds tracks in a similar way to Internet radio search, as
described earlier.
