Media Connect: Access Pictures and Music Stored on a Computer

Windows Media Connect provides digital media such as music files

(.WMA or .MP3) and pictures (JPEG) from a computer on your home

network to the Recorder. The computer must have Windows Media

Connect installed in order for the computer to share its files to

the Recorder.
On the computer containing the media, the Recorder must be registered

as a device that can access the files.
