My added stations
Even though the Internet radio portal contains thousands of stations, you may want to listen
to stations not listed. You can add your own stations via the portal. These added stations are
accessible from the tuner by touching the Internet Radio icon from the main menu >
Directory icon > My Added Stations > [Station].
SETTING UP A MUSIC SERVER
In order for the MD 807 to play music files from a computer, the computer must be
set up to share files or media.
UPnP (Universal Plug ‘n’ Play) media sharing allows devices like MD 801 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.
Note: iTunes does not currently work as a UPnP media server, but there are add-
ons available to work with an iTunes library.
SHARING MEDIA WITH Windows Media Player
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 Tuner 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 MD 80
7 (Library > Add to Library…).
4. In WMP, enable media sharing (Library > Media sharing…).

> This is done differently for MAC and PC users as well as different operating
systems, please use the computer “Help” tab for assistance or call us directly.
Make sure that your tuner 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 Tuner. The WMP UPnP service
runs in the background; there is no need to start WMP explicitly.
