Setting up a music server
In order for Stream1 to play music files from a computer, the computer must be set up to share
files or media.
UPnP media sharing allows devices like Stream1 to play music from a shared media library,
navigating through tag menus such as Artist, Album or Genre. If you are running a suitable server
system such as a PC with Windows Media Player 10 or later (WMP), and your music library is
well-tagged, then it is recommended to use media sharing. Only the UPnP server needs to be set
up.
Sharing media with Windows Media Player
Notice: iTunes does not currently work as a UPnP media server, but there are add-ons available
to work with an iTunes library.
The most common UPnP server is Windows Media Player (10 or later). Alternatively, other UPnP
platforms and servers may be used. To set up WMP for media sharing, perform the following
steps:
1. Ensure that the PC is connected to the network.
2. Ensure that the Adapter is powered on and connected to the same network.
3. In WMP, add to the media library the audio files and folders you want to share with
Stream1 (Library > Add to Library…).
4. In WMP, enable media sharing (Library > Media sharing…).
Notice: setup can differ depending on which version of WMP you have

www.argonaudio.com

Notice; it may show; Argon Stream1, “Unknown device”, “Frontier Silicon” or the Jupiter logo as shown below.
Make sure that the Adapter has access to the shared media by selecting it and clicking Allow. You can
also set a name for the shared media in Settings… Click OK to close the dialogue boxes.
The PC is now ready to stream the music to the Adapter. The WMP UPnP service runs in the background;
there is no need to start WMP explicitly.

connected media receiver while streaming content to it from another Windows 7 PC on a home network.
Before you can use the “Play To” feature you need the set-up Stream1 for Windows 7 streaming media.

3. Find the items that you want to play in the Player Library, and then drag those items from
