Net-Tune™ Central is a software application
that transforms your PC into a music server. It enables you to stream
your PC’s music files to other Net-Tune™ devices on a Local
Area Network (LAN). Net-Tune™ Central will automatically search
your hard drive for supported audio formats such
as MP3, WMA and WAVso
you can enjoy seamless organization of your music. It also allows
you to edit the song information (e.g. the name of the artist, album
or genre) and create custom playlists on your PC for easy playback.

There is one major change for Net-Tune™ Central
2 Integrated: Music files registered in Windows® Media Player
10 will automatically be registered into Net-Tune™ for streaming.
(Note: Only Windows® Media Player 10, not previous versions, enables
interaction with files. Please also note that WMA files with copyright
protection are not supported.)
The key change in the latest version of firmware is that Internet radio reception has been upgraded. |
