NETGEAR Audio is a client-server system. Media stored in the server is played from the client.
The player has no permanent storage thus it is called the “client” because its purpose is to browse
and playback content. The PC has permanent storage and thus it is called the “server.” Music files
are “served” to the player from the PC. The communication between these devices is
accomplished across a network, which can either be wired (using the 802.3 Ethernet standard) or
wireless (using the 802.11b standard).
