Music player
Music player enables you to play audio files stored on a
computer on your network or USB memory stick.
USB music player
To play audio from a USB mass-storage device (must be
FAT32 format) such as a USB memory stick, connect it to
the USB socket on the back of your R3.
When you first connect a USB mass-storage device, your
R3 will automatically ask if you want to view the track list.
Otherwise, to view the track list select Menu > USB.
Network music player
Your R3 is fully DLNA compatible and will play music
stored in shared media libraries on other devices on
your network. A shared library might be on a laptop,
smartphone or tablet, but it could also be on a dedicated
music server such as a NAS drive (Network Attached
Storage).
Most computers running Windows are already configured
as media servers as are most NAS drives and some
routers will also work as media servers. There are many
apps available for Mac, iOS, Linux, Android, Windows
phone, Blackberry, Symbian, etc. that will turn your MP3
player, smartphone or tablet into a music server.
To play music shared by devices on your network select
Menu > Shared media. After your R3 has scanned your
network for shared media you will see a list of music
servers consisting of the computer name and shared
media name, for example <Ruark-Laptop: Ozzie Music>.
The menus after this are generated by the media server,
although in most cases you will find options to browse by
genre, folder, artist, album etc.
If your R3 is not connected to a network it will attempt to
connect.
