Wyred 4 Sound MS - Manual (Page 19)

Mapping music library to other devices
Music that is stored on the Music Server is shared over the network and can be mapped to by
other devices for playback. Keep in mind that while the Music Server supports a vast array of formats,
the device mapped to it may not. For example, if you plan to map a computer to it that uses iTunes, it
is recommended to mirror all files into ALAC and they will be stored into in a separate folder.
When mapping anything to the Music Server’s music library it is highly recommended to use
the read only folder. This way the media player cannot manipulate your music collection which can
lead to undesirable results. The read only “Music” folder is a top level folder that is not within the
“files” folder. Contents in the “Music” folder that is within the “files” folder can be edited and should
not be mapped to by any device.
The following is a few examples of devices you can map to the Music Servers library.
● Sonos Products
● Mac or PC computer running media players such as JRiver or iTunes
