5. This now brings up four settings that you can change: "Friendly
name", "File location", "User name" and "Password".
6. For the Friendly name, you can enter anything you like to denote your
selection. For example, if you have chosen to add your whole
collection to the 640H, it could be "My Mac Music". If you only add a
particular artist, album etc, then it could be the name of the artist or
album.
7. The File location, as the name suggests, is where you enter the
location of your MP3 music on your computer. The way you enter the
file location is as follows: \\Computer name\account name\shared
music folder name, i.e. \\lounge\Joe Bloggs\music. Please note: the
Computer Name can only be 15 characters maximum including
spaces. If your Computer Name is over this, when you put the file
location in the 640H, you only need to put the first 15 characters in,
e.g. andrews computer, would actually be andrews compute in the file
location.
8. It is possible to add many locations to your 640H either from different
network devices or from the same network device (i.e. Mac). This also
means you can add different folders to your 640H content from within
your main Music folder. To do this, for example, say you have music
on your computer in folders called "Aerosmith" and "Robbie Williams",
that exist in your MP3 folder, if you want to add these folders
individually, you enter (using the lounge example above):
\\lounge\Joe Bloggs\music\Aerosmith and \\lounge\Joe
Bloggs\music\Robbie Williams. Note: You have to go through the
process "Adding Content to your 640H from your Mac" as described
here for each location you want to add.
9. The user name and password of the account on your Mac needs to be
added to the 640H for you to be allowed access:
10. Select the "Scan" button and then select "Start." This will then scan
your computer and create a database in the 640H listing the
contents of the Mac. Note: The actual music file does not get
transferred. This is done in two stages: "scanning content" and
"updating the database." Both can take a long time depending on
the amount of songs you have in your collection. When the process
is completed, you will see the computer contents in your music
library.
3.8 Adding content to your 640H from your Mac for OSX
10.4.2 and above
If you are using Mac OSX 10.4.2 or above, then you will need to
download and install software called “Share Points” to make your music
folder shareable over a general network. The software download, set-up
guide and FAQ's can be found at:
